The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) national headquarters in New Delhi had an unusual visitor on June 20 — Politburo member of the Communist Party of Vietnam and secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City party committee Nguyen Van Nen had an official meeting with BJP president J. P. Nadda.
India and Vietnam have had cordial relations for decades but the two ruling parties can be considered to be as belonging to two ends of the ideological spectrum, and therefore Mr. Van Nen’s visit is considered unusual.
