India to give Vietnam 4 offshore Patrol Vessels for free
New Delhi: India is likely to provide four naval patrol vessels to Vietnam in a military transfer significant to Hanoi's attempts to improve its defence in the South China Sea, where it is embroiled in a territorial dispute with China.
The four patrol ships will be provided to Vietnam under a $100 million defence credit line and represent a push by the government to counter Beijing's influence in South Asia by deepening ties with old ally Vietnam.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with Vietnamese premier Nguyen Tan Dung on Tuesday.
