In international cooperation, it is necessary to make these areas the main content of cooperation and prioritize more resources to realize them.

As a friend, a reliable partner and an active and responsible member of the international community, Vietnam always welcomes and is ready to create favorable conditions for Indian enterprises to invest and do long-term business in Vietnam, the Deputy Prime Minister affirmed.
