Adani Hails Vietnam’s Visionary Reforms, Sees New Chapter in India–Vietnam Economic Partnership

Gautam Adani commends Vietnam's bold reforms and outlines potential collaborations in energy and logistics. With bilateral trade reaching USD 15.76 billion, the partnership signals a robust strategic intent for future investments.

Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani marked a key milestone in India–Vietnam engagement on X (formerly Twitter), expressing admiration for Vietnam’s bold reforms and spotlighting potential for deeper collaboration in energy, logistics, ports, and aviation.

Adani shared that meeting H.E. Tô Lâm, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, was "a privilege," and praised Lâm’s "bold reforms and visionary agenda to position Vietnam as a regional leader in energy, logistics, ports and aviation," calling it a demonstration of exceptional strategic foresight.

This public message comes amid rising momentum in institutional ties: In FY 2024–25, India–Vietnam bilateral trade reached $15.76 billion, a 6.4% increase over the previous year. India’s exports to Vietnam stood at $5.43 billion, while Indian imports amounted to $10.33 billion. It follows recent high-level contacts, including visits by Indian Naval ships to Da Nang and talks between Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Pham Minh Chinh during the 2025 BRICS Summit, as Vietnam joined BRICS.

Vietnam has actively courted investment in infrastructure: In mid‑2024, it emerged that Adani Group was planning investments in Long Thanh and Chu Lai airports, along with seaport development, as part of a broader logistics and aviation strategy. The group had previously secured approval to build a seaport in Vietnam. Investment plans were reported to potentially exceed $10 billion, including renewable energy projects. Adani Ports & SEZ (APSEZ), the logistics arm of the group, recently received approval for a port in Da Nang, further expanding the company’s global footprint.

A Broader Vision

Adani’s statement signals a robust strategic intent: Vietnam’s ambitious push in energy infrastructure, including renewables, aligns with India’s own energy transition goals. Logistics and ports investment dovetail with India’s "MAHASAGAR" vision and efforts to strengthen maritime cooperation across the Indo-Pacific. Aviation infrastructure upgrades match Vietnam’s growth trajectory and offer fertile ground for Indo-Vietnam economic synergy.

What’s Next

This convergence of public endorsement and private investment plans suggests a clear roadmap: Infrastructure expansion: Adani’s past and planned investments in airports and ports contribute to Vietnam’s regional connectivity and trade capacity. Energy collaboration: Shared interests in green energy, backed by Adani’s growing presence in renewables, pave the way for deeper bilateral projects. Regional integration: These developments serve as bricks in a larger Indo‑Pacific architecture, strengthening ties with ASEAN and positioning India and Vietnam as strategic partners.
