Your Excellency, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh,

Delegates from both countries,

Our friends from the media,

Namaskar!

Xin chào!

I warmly welcome Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his delegation to India. First of all, on behalf of all the Indians, I express my deepest condolences on the demise of General Secretary, Nguyen Phu Trong. He was a good friend of India. Under his leadership too, India and Vietnam relations got a strategic direction.

Friends,

Over the past decade, our dimensions of our relations have both expanded and deepened.Over the last 10 years, we have transformed our relationship into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Our bilateral trade has increased by more than 85 percent. Mutual cooperation has expanded in the sectors of Energy, Technology and Development Partnership. Mutual cooperation in Defence and Security sectors has gained new momentum. In the last decade, connectivity has increased many folds. Today we have more than 50 direct flights. Along with this, Tourism is continuously increasing, and people have also been given the facility of e-visa. The work of restoration of ancient temples has been successfully completed in ‘My Son’.

Friends,

Looking at the achievements of the last decade, in our discussion today we comprehensively discussed all areas of mutual cooperation. And took several steps towards planning the future. We believe that due to ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ and ‘Vision 2045’ of Vietnam, development has gained momentum in both the countries. This is opening up many new areas of mutual cooperation. And therefore, to further strengthen our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, today we have adopted a new Plan of Action. New steps have been taken for cooperation in the field of Defence and Security. The Army Software Park built at 'Nha Trang' was inaugurated today. The agreement on a $300 million credit line will strengthen Vietnam's maritime security. We have also decided to emphasize cooperation on the issues of terrorism and cyber security. We agree that in order to realize the potential of mutual trade, the review of the ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement should be concluded as soon as possible. An agreement has been reached between our central banks for Digital payment connectivity. We have decided that the focus will be on the areas of Green Economy and new emerging technology. Capabilities of both the nations in Energy and Port development sector will be harnessed for mutual benefit. Work will also be done to connect the private sector, small and medium enterprises and start-ups of both the countries

Friends,

Agriculture and Fisheries are important parts of the economy of both countries. These sectors are directly related to people's livelihood and food security. We have decided that germplasm exchange and joint research will be promoted in these areas. To conserve our shared cultural heritage, India will cooperate in the conservation of the temples of "Block F” of the World Heritage Site "My Son”. As we all know, Buddhism is our common heritage, which has connected the people of both the countries on a spiritual level.We invite people of Vietnam to the Buddhist circuit in India. And wish that the youth of Vietnam should also take advantage of the Nalanda University.

Friends,

In our Act East policy and our Indo-Pacific vision, Vietnam is an important partner. We share unison in our views regarding the Indo-Pacific region. We support evolution, not expansionism. We will continue our cooperation for a free, open, rules-based and prosperous Indo-Pacific. We welcome Vietnam's decision to join the CDRI.

Friends,

Once again, I welcome Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. Your visit is adding a new and golden chapter to our relations.

Thank you very much

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended the 59th All India Conference of Director Generals/ Inspector Generals of Police at Bhubaneswar on November 30 and December 1, 2024.

In the valedictory session, PM distributed President’s Police Medals for Distinguished Service to officers of the Intelligence Bureau. In his concluding address, PM noted that wide ranging discussions had been held during the conference, on national and international dimensions of security challenges and expressed satisfaction on the counter strategies which had emerged from the discussions.

During his address, PM expressed concern on the potential threats generated on account of digital frauds, cyber-crimes and AI technology, particularly the potential of deep fake to disrupt social and familial relations. As a counter measure, he called upon the police leadership to convert the challenge into an opportunity by harnessing India’s double AI power of Artificial Intelligence and ‘Aspirational India’.

He expanded the mantra of SMART policing and called upon the police to become strategic, meticulous, adaptable, reliable and transparent. Appreciating the initiatives taken in urban policing, he suggested that each of the initiatives be collated and implemented entirely in 100 cities of the country. He called for the use of technology to reduce the workload of the constabulary and suggested that the Police Station be made the focal point for resource allocation.

Discussing the success of hackathons in solving some key problems, Prime Minister suggested deliberating on holding a National Police Hackathon as well. Prime Minister also highlighted the need for expanding the focus on port security and preparing a future plan of action for it.

Recalling the unparalleled contribution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to Ministry of Home Affairs, PM exhorted the entire security establishment from MHA to the Police Station level, to pay homage on his 150th birth anniversary next year, by resolving to set and achieve a goal on any aspect which would improve Police image, professionalism and capabilities. He urged the Police to modernize and realign itself with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’.

During the Conference, in depth discussions were held on existing and emerging challenges to national security, including counter terrorism, left wing extremism, cyber-crime, economic security, immigration, coastal security and narco-trafficking. Deliberations were also held on emerging security concerns along the border with Bangladesh and Myanmar, trends in urban policing and strategies for countering malicious narratives. Further, a review was undertaken of implementation of newly enacted major criminal laws, initiatives and best practices in policing as also the security situation in the neighborhood. PM offered valuable insights during the proceedings and laid a roadmap for the future.

The Conference was also attended by Union Home Minister, Principal Secretary to PM, National Security Advisor, Ministers of State for Home and Union Home Secretary. The conference, which was held in a hybrid format, was also attended by DGsP/IGsP of all States/UTs and heads of the CAPF/CPOs physically and by over 750 officers of various ranks virtually from all States/UTs.
