In international cooperation, it is necessary to make these areas the main content of cooperation and prioritize more resources to realize them. Developed countries need to increase support for developing countries in terms of capital, technology transfer, engineering, modern management, and human resource training. As a fast-growing and dynamic economy, the fifth largest in the world, the Deputy Prime Minister believes that India is fully capable and is increasingly playing a leading role in this process. Regarding bilateral relations, the Deputy Prime Minister assessed that over the past time, the traditional friendship and the Vietnam-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership have continuously developed in all fields; affirming that Vietnam sincerely thanks and appreciates India's effective support in human resource training, science and technology development, energy conversion, and digital conversion. The Deputy Prime Minister wished to further promote cooperation with India in general and Gujarat in particular, especially in areas where India has strengths and is suitable for Vietnam's development priorities, many of which were discussed at this conference. 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. The Deputy Prime Minister believes that the good cooperation between Vietnam and India will not only benefit the business communities and people of the two countries, but also contribute positively to peace, cooperation and prosperous and sustainable development in the region and the world./.
