印度总理访越将强化印越安全关系

India’s prime minister is to visit Vietnam to strengthen growing security ties in response to both countries’ fears about China’s regional territorial ambitions.

印度总理即将访问越南，加强两国之间日益密切的安全关系。印度和越南这么做，是为了应对它们对于中国地区领土野心的担忧。

Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet the top four national leaders in Hanoi on Saturday as New Delhi seeks to counter what it sees as Beijing’s efforts to encircle India with military bases in South Asia.

纳伦德拉•莫迪(Narendra Modi)计划于周六会见越南4位最高层领导人。印度正寻求对抗北京方面以南亚军事基地包围印度的努力。

Mr Modi is due to hold talks with Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Vietnam’s new prime minister, as well as meetings with the country’s president, national assembly chairman, and Nguyen Phu Trong, the powerful ruling Communist party general secretary.

莫迪将会见越南新总理阮春福(Nguyen Xuan Phuc)、国家主席、国会主席以及强大的执政党共产党的总书记阮富仲(Nguyen Phu Trong)。

The two nations are also expected to sign a $100m deal for India to build high-speed patrol boats for Vietnam.

预计两国还将签署一份价值1亿美元、由印度为越南制造高速巡逻艇的协议。

Two other items likely to be high on the agenda are a plan to base Indian naval ships in Vietnam and Hanoi’s long-pending request to buy BrahMos short-range cruise missiles jointly developed by India and Russia.

另外两个可能很重要的议题分别是，一项让印度军舰进驻越南的计划，以及越南长期以来寻求的购买印俄联合开发的布拉莫斯(BrahMos)近程巡航导弹的要求。

It emerged earlier this year that New Delhi also has plans to set up a satellite tracking and imaging centre in South Vietnam, giving Hanoi access to data from Indian satellites in return.

今年早些时候有消息称，印度还打算在越南南部建立一个卫星跟踪与成像中心，作为回报，越南将可以使用来自印度卫星的数据。
