Vietnam more viable than India in China+1 strategy? FM Sitharaman says they have 'advantages'

On being quizzed on if Vietnam is benefitting more from China Plus One strategy, Sitharaman told The Economic Times that Vietnam has had certain advantages such as border sharing with China. “I don’t think we can conclude that it has not worked for us. There are advantages that Vietnam has had since some time and being contiguous to Chinese territory can also be one advantage that they had over us,” Sitharaman said.
