The Foreign Ministry said the visit will be made at the invitation of President Nguyen Phu Trong.

Viet Nam and India set up their diplomatic ties on 7 January 1972. In 2007, the Viet Nam-India relationship was lifted to strategic partnership level, with a focus on politics-diplomacy, national defence-security, economy-trade, energy, science-technology and culture-education.

Following the Viet Nam’s visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2016, both sides upgraded their strategic partnership to a comprehensive strategic partnership to meet demand in the new situation.

In March this year, then President Tran Dai Quang and his spouse paid a State visit to India. The visit helped materialise contents of the Viet Nam-India comprehensive strategic partnership while strengthening the bilateral relationship.
