Vietnam PM seeks India support on maritime row

NEW DELHI: Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has sought India’s support to resolve territorial disputes in the South China Sea, local media reported late on Monday, in a bid to shore up regional alliances as relations have soured with Asian giant China.

Tan, who is on a two-day visit to India, is due to meet Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on Tuesday and is expected to discuss strengthening regional alliances at a time when both countries have seen relations with China strained over territorial disputes.
