Speaking at the event, VUFO President Phan Anh Son emphasized the traditional relations between Vietnam and India. The friendship between the two countries was founded by President Ho Chi Minh and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and has been nurtured by generations of leaders and citizens of both countries.
