Nguyen Khac Dinh and Prayna Verma both highly evaluated the potentials for cooperation between Khanh Hoa and India. However, the cooperation and exploitation of the potentials, especially in commerce and tourism, are still limited. The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee suggested the Ambassador would provide a link and support Khanh Hoa to cooperate more with localities and businesses in India to open direct flights from India to Cam Ranh Airport, bringing Indian tourists to Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa, etc. Especially, at the meeting, the two sides agreed in principle to jointly organize the India - Khanh Hoa Economic Forum and India Cultural Week in Khanh Hoa to enhance exchanges and seek cooperation opportunities.
India has a USD1 billion credit package to support infrastructure connectivity and digital cooperation with the CLMV countries, including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar; and provide 1,000 scholarships for ASEAN countries. India will consider providing the capital support as well as scholarships for the workforce training for Khanh Hoa Province if need be. India is also willing to assist Khanh Hoa in the restoration of Cham cultural heritages, etc, according to Ambassador Prayna Verma.
