Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is scheduled to visit India at the end of 2021 to discuss with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi measures to advance bilateral comprehensive and strategic partnership, the country's ambassador, Pham Sanh Chau, said here on Wednesday.

Earlier, during a telephonic conversation in July, PM Modi had congratulated Chinh on his appointment as the premier of Vietnam and invited him to undertake an official visit to India at an early suitable date. PM Modi had expressed confidence that the India-Vietnam comprehensive strategic partnership will continue to become stronger under Chinh's able guidance.

Now, the Vietnam's diplomat said, ''Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is scheduled to pay an official visit to India at the end of 2021 to discuss with PM Modi measures to advance our bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership forward,'' the diplomat said at the event. This will be the second bust of Ho Chi Minh in India, the first being in Kolkata. Chau said a bust of Mahatma Gandhi will be inaugurated in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on the occasion of his 152nd birth anniversary on October 2.

Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi and Chau also inaugurated a bust of Vietnam's founding father and President Ho Chi Minh at Kautilya Marg park in the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri.
