Economy, Science & Technology, And Environment: The Three New Pillars Of Vietnam – India Cooperation
In 2024, the two sides adopted an Action Plan to implement the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the 2024-2028 period. This document not only consolidates traditional areas of cooperation but also expands into new domains such as science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, energy and sustainable development.
Economy continues to be a bright spot in bilateral cooperation
Over the past decade, Vietnam-India economic cooperation has recorded significant positive developments. Bilateral trade turnover has maintained steady growth, increasing from over USD 14 billion in 2023 to nearly USD 16.5 billion in 2025, reflecting the increasingly close integration between the two dynamic Asian economies.
The structure of two-way trade has increasingly demonstrated complementarity. Vietnam has strengthened its exports of electronics, machinery, processed agricultural products, wood, and seafood, while India serves as an important supplier of steel, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles to Vietnam.
Amid the ongoing restructuring of global supply chains, both Vietnam and India are intensifying efforts to diversify their partners and reduce dependency risks. This creates significant room for the two countries to promote supply chain linkages in areas such as processing and manufacturing industries, supporting industries, logistics, and high-tech agriculture. Vietnam, with its strategic location in Southeast Asia, can serve as a gateway for Indian enterprises to expand their presence deeper into ASEAN, while India represents a vast market with rapidly increasing consumer demand.
Science and technology: a new driver for deeper cooperation
Scientific and technological cooperation has seen remarkable development recently, gradually shifting from exchanges to more substantive collaboration, tied to specific products and developmental needs. Priority areas of cooperation include information technology, biotechnology, clean energy, and digital transformation.
Several representative projects, such as the Satellite Data Receiving Station and Satellite Image Processing Center, the Vietnam-India Nuclear Science Center (Da Lat), the Army Software Park (Nha Trang), and the Center of Excellence in Software Development and Training (CESDT), have been contributing to enhancing Vietnam’s technological capacity. Notably, the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) program continues to be an effective channel for human resource training, helping Vietnamese officials and experts access modern management knowledge and experience.
Against the backdrop of the vigorous Fourth Industrial Revolution, the potential for cooperation between the two countries remains vast. The two sides can expand their cooperation into emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, cybersecurity, fintech, and biotechnology, aiming for the goals of co-development and co-innovation.
Environmental cooperation and sustainable development are gradually expanding
In the context of increasingly complex climate change, environmental cooperation between Vietnam and India is becoming an important component of the bilateral agenda. Areas such as renewable energy, water resource management, circular economy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure are receiving growing attention and promotion from both sides.
Cooperation agreements in marine science, along with Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) supporting communities, such as clean water supply, drought mitigation, and saline intrusion prevention in the Mekong Delta, have delivered practical results. Vietnam’s participation in the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), initiated by India, also opens up opportunities to strengthen cooperation in sustainable infrastructure and climate change adaptation.
In the coming period, areas encompassing solar energy, energy storage, waste management, marine pollution monitoring, and early warning systems for natural disasters are considered promising directions for cooperation.
Prospects for cooperation
The prospects for cooperation in the coming period are assessed as positive. With the economic and scientific-technological complementarity, along with strong political will from both sides, Vietnam-India relations have many favorable conditions to grow more strongly, particularly in areas such as the digital economy, green economy, innovation.
Orientations for promoting cooperation in the coming period
With a foundation of excellent relations and significant room for cooperation, the two countries have the basis to elevate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to a new height, making it increasingly substantive and effective in the new phase, particularly in the context of the two countries heading towards new high-level engagements with the state visit of General Secretary and President To Lam to India in May 2026.
To effectively capitalize on opportunities, both sides need to continue maintaining high-level exchanges, intergovernmental mechanisms and specialized dialogues, and further translate strategic commitments into cooperation programs and projects with clear roadmaps and resources.
In the economic field, efforts should be intensified to remove trade barriers, improve logistics connectivity, and promote the review and upgrading of the ASEAN – India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA); strengthen the development of large-scale investment projects in priority areas such as pharmaceuticals, the marine economy, renewable energy, and supporting industries.
In the field of science and technology, establishing joint research cooperation mechanisms, strengthening linkages between research institutes, universities, enterprises, as well as promoting expert exchanges, technology transfer, and human resource training will play an important role.
In the environmental field, efforts should be directed toward building a comprehensive green cooperation framework, focusing on water management, marine science, plastic pollution reduction, clean energy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure, while also effectively leveraging regional initiatives such as the CDRI.

BrokersThai Data: Local Traders Compare Gold and Crypto Side by Side as Markets Shift
Recent Google search trends in Thailand show continued growth in interest for both asset classes. Gold trading-related searches such as “XAUUSD today” have consistently generated between 1,000 and 10,000 monthly searches over the past year, while cryptocurrency-related keywords including “crypto” have maintained similarly strong search volumes.
The trend is also reflected in internal traffic data from BrokersThai.com. Pages related to Forex brokers for gold trading generated more than 5,000 impressions over the last year, highlighting continued interest from Thai traders seeking reliable broker comparisons and trading cost information.
The data also reveals that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are no longer seen as just tools for quick gambling. Instead, users search for risk management, such as how to handle price drops and volatility, spike every time the stock market experiences volatility. This proves that traders are carefully weighing crypto risks against the steady safety of gold.
Justin Grossbard, CEO of BrokersThai.com, commented: “Thai traders are now interested in trading multiple assets, especially gold and Bitcoin, while paying more attention to trading costs and broker transparency. Many traders are carefully comparing spreads and execution speeds to reduce unnecessary trading costs as much as possible.”
The findings indicate that Thai retail traders are adapting to uncertain market conditions by conducting deeper research before making investment decisions. Rather than choosing between gold or Bitcoin, many traders are now using both together — relying on gold to help preserve capital while viewing Bitcoin as a long-term growth opportunity.

Timed ahead of the 2026 summer school holidays, the Group has introduced SBEC Juniors, a new loyalty programme for children and teenagers, alongside the launch of a new family mascot, Bella the Swiss Cow, who joins the much-loved Bernie the Swiss Dog to create a more immersive and welcoming experience for younger guests.
In parallel, SBI is also rolling out special family-focused school holiday offers across participating properties for stays between 10 June and 31 August 2026.
Speaking about the initiatives, Priyanka Kapoor, Group Director – Brand, Marketing & Communications of Swiss-Belhotel International, stated: “Family travel continues to evolve globally, with parents increasingly looking for meaningful, comfortable, and engaging experiences that cater to every generation. At Swiss-Belhotel International, we believe hospitality should create lasting memories not only for adults, but equally for children and teenagers. The introduction of SBEC Juniors, together with our enhanced family offerings and new mascots Bernie and Bella, reflects our commitment to making our hotels even more family-friendly and experience-driven.”
Introducing SBEC Juniors
Ahead of its official launch on 10 June 2026, the newly launched SBEC Juniors programme extends the benefits of the group’s Swiss-Belexecutive (SBEC) loyalty programme to younger guests up to the age of 16 years. Functioning as a supplementary membership linked to an adult SBEC member account, the initiative has been designed to create a more rewarding and personalised experience for travelling families.
SBEC Juniors members will enjoy age-based dining privileges across participating hotels: ranging from complimentary dining for younger children to a 50% discount for older kids and teens. (Note: Specific discounts apply to rate-plan meals, buffets, and kids’ set menus when accompanied by a paying adult, varying by age bracket).
In addition, families travelling with SBEC Juniors members will enjoy a range of special in-room touches including dedicated children’s bathroom amenities, welcome juices, cupcakes, and activity sheets, creating a warmer and more memorable arrival experience for younger guests.
As part of the group’s enhanced family hospitality strategy, SBI is also introducing Bella, a cheerful Swiss cow who joins the existing mascot Bernie the Swiss Dog.
While Bernie represents warmth, loyalty, comfort, and the spirit of Swiss hospitality, Bella brings an added connection to nature, family values, and the agricultural heritage of the Faull family, the family behind Swiss-Belhotel International. Inspired by Faull Farms in Taranaki, New Zealand, home to more than 1,500 cows, many of Swiss heritage, Bella reflects a legacy of nurturing, wholesome living, and family togetherness.
Together, Bernie & Bella (B&B) will become part of family experiences across participating hotels through welcome interactions, children’s activities, seasonal campaigns, and family-focused experiences designed to create a more playful, engaging, and memorable environment for younger guests.
Inspired by the magic of the Swiss Alps and the wholesome spirit of Faull Farms, the mascots symbolise warm hospitality, family connection, comfort, safety, and a love for nature, values that remain central to the Swiss-Belhotel International guest experience.
To further support family summer travel, Swiss-Belhotel International will launch a special School Holidays campaign bookable from now for stays from 10 June until 31 August 2026.
By using the promotional code SCHOOL15 on the official website or at participating hotels, families will unlock:
- Up to 20% off room rates (15% off refundable rates; 20% off non-refundable rates).
- Full access to SBEC Juniors dining benefits.
- Tailored family experiences and activities customized by each local property.
(Note: Promotional structures may vary at select Zest properties).
Swiss-Belhotel International currently manages a diverse portfolio of hotels, resorts, serviced residences, and boutique concepts across key international markets and continues to strengthen its positioning within the leisure and family travel sectors through guest-centric innovations and experience-led hospitality initiatives.
