Ahead of President Quang’s visit, the Times of India ran an article highlighting the event which marks 46 years of bilateral ties. The visit follows Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s recent trip to India to attend their Republic Day and a summit to mark the 25th anniversary of the ASEAN-Indian dialogue partnership.
