Vietnam-India trade relations
Vietnam and India have steadily expanded economic ties since establishing diplomatic relations in 1972, with trade gaining momentum after Vietnam’s economic reforms and deeper regional integration.
Bilateral engagement strengthened further with the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement, which reduced tariffs and facilitated greater flows of goods between the two economies.
Both countries have also upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, reflecting broader cooperation across trade, investment, and supply chains.
Trade agreements and policy coordination continue to support growth in key sectors such as electronics, agriculture, and energy, while reinforcing long-term economic cooperation.
