As parts of agreements Japan gives Vietnam access to ALOS earth observation satellites without payment for the service.
That’s as stopgap until Vietnam can launch own satellites into space.

Will be interesting when the sedan is manufactured and on sale in 2027. Good ad: the prime minister of Korea and Japan have apparently no hesitation in sitting in a VF limousine.

TBH, I didn't believe I would live to these days to witness Viet Nam having a robust defence industries like this. As I have said, the day of us buying weapons are all over, even potential fighter jet deal with Russia is being put on hold indefinitely due to a potential fixed wing jet under development at the moment.

To Lam is expected to discuss expanding defence ties with India during his visit to New Delhi this week, including a potential purchase of BrahMos missiles jointly developed with Russia, two sources told Reuters.

India, which has been strengthening domestic defence manufacturing for both local use and exports, has already supplied the supersonic cruise missile system to the Philippines and signed a contract with Indonesia in March.

A possible deal with Vietnam could be valued at around Rs 60 billion ($629 million), including training and logistical support, one of the sources said to Reuters.

India views Vietnam as a key partner in maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific region amid China’s growing influence. Another source told Reuters that some defence cooperation announcements could be made during To Lam’s May 5-7 visit, although no formal weapons deal is expected to be signed.

To Lam arrived on Tuesday in Bodh Gaya, a major Buddhist pilgrimage site. All sources declined to be identified as they were not authorised to speak on government negotiations.

The foreign ministries of India and Vietnam, as well as BrahMos Aerospace, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
