Hanoi/New Delhi: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval attended the state funeral of Vietnam’s long-serving leader Nguyen Phu Trong in Hanoi on Thursday and conveyed India’s condolences personally to the Vietnamese leadership.

Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party, died on July 19 at the age of 80.

The Indian Embassy in Hanoi said in a post on X:

“National Security Adviser Ajit Doval attended today the state funeral of General Secretary H E Nguyen Phu Trong in Hanoi and conveyed India’s condolences personally to President H E To Lam, Prime Minister H E Pham Minh Chinh and the bereaved family.”

As the general secretary of Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party since 2011, and also holding the post of president, Trong was seen as one of the country’s most powerful leaders in decades.

PM Narendra Modi had earlier expressed sadness at the passing away of Nguyen Phu Trong.

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said India stands in solidarity with the people and leadership of Vietnam in this hour of grief.

“Saddened by the news of the passing away of the Vietnamese leader, General Secretary H.E. Nguyen Phu Trong. We pay our respects to the departed leader. Extend our deepest condolences and stand in solidarity with the people and leadership of Vietnam in this hour of grief.”
