NEW DELHI, May 30 (Reuters) – India has signed a deal with Vietnam under which it will supply BrahMos missiles which it has jointly developed with Russia, and is in “final stages” for a similar deal with Indonesia, India’s Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said on Saturday.
• India has a strong commitment to ASEAN nations, Singh said, without disclosing more details of the deals related to BrahMos.
• Singh was speaking at Asia’s premier defence forum, the Shangri-La Dialogue.
• India, which has been building up domestic defence manufacturing for local use and exports, has already sold the supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines.
• A deal with Vietnam could be worth about 60 billion rupees ($629 million), including training and logistical support, Reuters has previously reported, citing a source.
