Injeti expressed confidence that Vietnamese enterprises will attract strong interest from Indian investors, emphasizing that both India and Vietnam are among the world’s fastest-growing economies, characterized by young populations, outward-oriented development strategies and growth driven by manufacturing and technology.

He said the two countries have placed capital markets at the center of their development journeys. Bilateral trade has surpassed 16 billion USD and continues to expand steadily. However, according to the NSE Chairman, the next phase of the bilateral partnership will be driven not only by trade but also by capital flows and investment connectivity.

Describing the occasion as a significant milestone for Vietnam, Injeti highlighted the scale and influence of the NSE, which is currently the world’s largest derivatives exchange by trading volume, with a market capitalization of approximately 5 trillion USD and more than 130 million investors.

As 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam–India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, the NSE Chairman expressed his hope that the coming decade will see bilateral ties evolve beyond traditional diplomacy into a substantive partnership in capital markets, finance and business cooperation.

He affirmed that the NSE stands ready to support Vietnam’s capital market development and welcomes Vietnamese enterprises seeking opportunities to access investment capital in India.

Concluding his remarks, he voiced his hope that Vietnam and India will continue advancing together in a spirit of shared progress and mutual development.

On this occasion, the top Vietnamese leader also toured the exchange’s National Trading Operations Center, Technology Operations Center and Cybersecurity Operations Center.
