    What's the story

    India and Vietnam inked three pacts, including one on nuclear cooperation, and resolved to jointly work for an open Indo-Pacific, while calling for a rules-based regional architecture during Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang's three-day India visit.

    In their talks, PM Narendra Modi and Quang also vowed to expand bilateral cooperation in several key sectors, including defense, oil and gas, and agriculture.

    Here's more.

    Official Statement

    Will jointly work for an open, independent Indo-Pacific: PM Modi

    "We will jointly work for an open, independent and prosperous Indo-Pacific region where sovereignty and international laws are respected and where differences are resolved through talks," PM Modi said in President Quang's presence.

    "Both sides are committed towards expanding the bilateral maritime cooperation and for an open, efficient and rules-based regional architecture," he said.

    The remarks come amid China's growing assertiveness in the region.

    Bilateral Cooperation

    Cooperation in nuclear energy, agriculture, trade

    PM Modi said India and Vietnam decided to collaborate in defense production and explore opportunities in transfer of technology.

    Modi said they "agreed" to deepen trade and investment ties in sectors such as oil and gas exploration, renewable-energy, agriculture, and textiles.

    The three pacts signed after the talks between the two leaders would provide for cooperation in areas of nuclear energy, trade, and agriculture.
