The visit was the first by Pham as Prime Minister and also the first by a Vietnamese Prime Minister to India in 10 years.

While in India, Prime Minister Pham partook in 20 activities.

He has held talks and meetings with Prime Minister Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President and Chairman of the Indian Upper House (Rajya Sabha) Jagdeep Dhankhar and speaker of the Lok Sabha (lower house) Om Birla.

The Vietnamese PM also met with leaders of some Indian political parties, attended the Viet Nam-India business forum, delivered a policy speech at the Indian Council of World Affairs, visited the Vietnamese Embassy in India and met with representatives from the Vietnamese community in the South Asian country.

The two sides issued a joint statement on strengthening the Viet Nam-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, based on the "Five Mores" principle including higher political-strategic trust, deeper defence-security cooperation, more substantial and effective economic-trade-investment collaboration, broader cooperation in science-technology and closer cultural-tourism and people-to-people exchange.

The two sides approved a plan of action to implement their comprehensive strategic partnership in 2024-2028 and exchanged diplomatic notes on Viet Nam’s joining the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).

The two Prime Ministers launched a military software park in Nha Trang city in Viet Nam’s south-central province of Khanh Hoa.

On this occasion, nine cooperative documents were inked in the areas of healthcare, justice, diplomacy, human resources training, agricultural science, broadcasting, tourism, culture and agriculture.
