At the dialogue, the two sides engaged in straightforward discussion on a number of issued of shared concern. Misri reiterated India's Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI) initiated by Indian PM Narendra Modi, which focuses on collaboration efforts to preserve, maintain and protect the maritime industry.
Vietnam highly valued the role of India in promoting peace and security in the region as well as shaping the Indo-Pacific architecture.
They agreed to cooperate and coordinate with each other in a number of areas including anti-terrorism, and reached consensus on the need for joint efforts against the connections of extremism, terrorism, illegal production and trafficking of drugs and weapons in the region.
