An active duty missile corvette of the Indian Navy is on its way to Vietnam as a gift, the first warship given by India to any country.
India and Vietnam have strengthened their ties in recent years, with a special focus on defence, as both countries are concerned over an increasingly assertive China.
But the corvette for Vietnam is the first time India has given a warship to a Chinese neighbour with a coast on the South China Sea, where several countries have overlapping territorial claims. The Indian Navy said in a statement the transfer of the Kirpan "reflects India's commitment to assist its like-minded partners in enhancing their capacity and capability".
The gift was announced when Vietnam's Defence Minister Gen Phan Van Giang visited India earlier this month.
