India–Vietnam trade should reach $20 billion, Nguyen Thanh Hai, Ambassador of Vietnam to India, said on Monday in Kolkata.
'Trade is an important pillar in our partnership, with bilateral trade reaching $15 billion. But if you look at the total volume of trade of each of the countries, it is a small proportion,' the Ambassador said at a session organised by the Bharat Chamber of Commerce.
'There is a lot of potential. We need to find a way to promote further trade with each other,' he added.
The environment was 'very conducive' to promote trade further, he said.

Asian markets traded mostly higher, while the US stock market ended sharply lower overnight after Trump's tariffs announcement. On Monday, the Indian stock market ended flat amid uncertainty over the India-US trade deal.

That said, the underlying tone remains positive, supported by rotational buying in heavyweight stocks across sectors. Amid the ongoing consolidation, we maintain our bullish view and recommend continuing with a 'buy on dips' approach, focusing on stock selection based on relative strength,' said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd. Here are key global market cues for Sensex today: Asian markets traded mostly higher after Trump announced steep tariffs on 14 trading partners, including Japan and South Korea.

Trump says US 'very close' to a trade deal with India
President Donald Trump announced Monday evening that the United States is on the verge of concluding a trade pact with India as the deadline for America's April 2 'reciporal tariffs' was extended to August 1. 'We've finalised agreements with the United Kingdom and China, and we're very close to securing a deal with India,' Trump told reporters after he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for dinner at the White House. Trump administration has already issued formal notices to 14 other countries including South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Myanmar informing them of the substantial new tariffs that will be enforced starting August. The announcement comes days after Indian negotiators returned to New Delhi after extended talks on the ambitious India-US free trade agreement that is due to be concluded by fall 2025. The Republic leader had slapped 26% tariffs on Indian goods in his April 2 order, which was later cut down to 10% basic duty until July 9, now ended by nearly another month.
