Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated To Lam on his election as Vietnam’s President and expressed readiness to work with him to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two nations.
“Heartiest congratulations to Mr To Lam on his election as President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. I am confident that under his leadership, the time-tested friendship between our two countries will continue to grow from strength to strength. I look forward to working closely together to further deepen our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the progress and prosperity of our people and the region,” PM Modi posted on X.
PM Modi’s congratulatory message came after Vietnam’s National Assembly on Tuesday confirmed Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) General Secretary To Lam as the country’s president for the 2026-2031 tenure.
India and Vietnam share close and warm bilateral relations that were elevated to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during PM Modi’s visit to Vietnam in 2016, according to a statement from the Indian Embassy in Vietnam.
In 2022, India and Vietnam celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, and both countries are working together actively to further strengthen their multi-dimensional cooperation.
