India has gifted a very unique gift to Vietnam. Let us tell you that promoting defense cooperation with Vietnam, India handed over its missile-equipped warship ‘INS Kirpan’ as a gift to Vietnam on Saturday. However, China may feel chilly due to this. Because Vietnam has a territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea region.
Officials said that for the first time India is gifting a serving ship to a friendly country. He said Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar, who is on a visit to Vietnam, presided over the ceremony at Cam Ron to hand over the warship.
Let us tell you that China is constantly showing an aggressive attitude in the South China Sea. Just as China’s tension with India has increased on the Line of Actual Control and the Chinese Army has tried to change the status quo on the LAC many times, similarly China is becoming a problem for other countries in the South China Sea. There is also a border dispute between China and Vietnam. Let us tell you that the northern border of Vietnam is with China. China has tried to increase its activities on Vietnam’s Exclusive Economy Zone (EEZ) on the South China Sea. Due to China, tension has increased on the South China Sea. India, America and friendly countries have been continuously advocating free navigation. Strengthening Vietnam’s position in the South China Sea will help counter China. India and Vietnam have had very good relations. India helped Vietnam in the 1979 Sino-Vietnam War.
Significantly, India has oil exploration projects in Vietnamese waters in the South China Sea. In view of this, India and Vietnam have been increasing their maritime security cooperation in the last few years to protect common interests.
