NEW DELHI – President of the India-Vietnam Solidarity Committee in West Bengal State Greetesh Sharma has suggested the two countries further promote bilateral friendship and solidarity.

He made the proposal at a meeting with National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân in New Delhi today.

Sharma highlighted the faithful relations between Việt Nam and India, which were founded by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and President Hồ Chí Minh in the 1950s.

He recommended both nations enhance people-to-people exchanges and cooperation in tourism and heritage preservation.

In turn, NA Chairwoman Ngân highly valued the role and efforts of Greetesh Sharma in supporting Vietnamese people in the cause of national independence and reunification.

Over the past 40 years, he has written and translated a lot of books and newspapers to help India’s public understand better about Việt Nam, President Hồ Chí Minh, and the two countries’ friendship and co-operation.

With his significant contributions, Sharma was honoured with the Friendship Order of the Vietnamese State and the insignia “For Peace and Friendship among Nations” of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations in 2004.  – VNS
