Vietnam has come out in support of India’s bid for a permanent seat at the UNSC, has lobbied in favour of India’s presence at the first East Asian Summit in 2005, and helped block Pakistan’s inclusion in the ASEAN Regional Forum.
If Pakistan is admitted into ASEAN regional forum, ASEAN nations will be bought under the rule of the all powerful ISI. ASEAN nations leaders will be replaced with clones doing the bidding for ISI .

What has the ISI got to do with this discussion?

Why don't you learn more about the security and intelligence organisations of respective ASEAN members? Don't just make sweeping and irrelevant statements.

I must agree with Sunshin and admit that bringing ISI into the equation is a bit irrelevant.

Its called sarcasm. I thought the baby on youtube would have gave it away.

I was just poking fun at parts of the article, when Pakistan was barred from ASEAN. Its not like ASEAN is a powerful military bloc.

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | China and Vietnam agree borders

China and Vietnam agree borders

China and Vietnam have resolved a border dispute 30 years after a war which left tens of thousands dead.

The two countries announced they had completed the demarcation just hours before a midnight deadline.

Government teams from both sides had worked for years planting stones to mark the line of the frontier which stretches 1,350 km (840 miles).

China and Vietnam both hailed the agreement, but neither mentioned any progress on a separate maritime row.

"The completion of the land border demarcation between China and Vietnam will promote the development of the China-Vietnam strategic partnership," said Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Dawei.

Mr Wu said the agreement would also "benefit peace, stability and development" in the region.


Vietnam quiet about China deal
The BBC's Nga Pham in Hanoi said the last-minute agreement had caught observers by surprise.

Many had believed that there were differences between the two sides that could not be quickly resolved.

However, it was not clear whether the two parties had signed any official protocol on the completion of land border demarcation and no map of the newly-defined border was released, says our correspondent.

Sensitive issue

The two neighbours, which normalised relations in 1991, have had an uneasy relationship.

China supported the Vietnamese Communists during the Vietnam War, but Vietnam is wary of its huge northern neighbour and the countries have had several confrontations in the past few decades.

These include disputes over the Spratly Islands, a strategic string of rocky outcrops in the middle of the South China Sea, to which both countries, as well as several others, have laid claim.

Analysts say border and territory controls have always been highly sensitive issues in Vietnam.

Last year, public grievances over China's claims to the Spratlys led to mass anti-Beijing protests in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi and in Ho Chi Minh City.

@ woden: THX for posting!

Even if the pro-China faction would gain the upper hand at the next CPV congress, VN won't become pro-China. The Vietnamese draw a large part of their identity from their resistance towards the Chinese and I doubt that any China-friendly government can overcome this.

Guys topic is about Indo-Vietnam relation : well as recent media, indian media loud noise over Chinese incursion into the Line Of Control [LAC] and around Mcmohan line.
Now question arises will India will be benefited from Vietnam friendly relations?
as China has covered India from all sides like building port in Pakistan which is quite near to Indian gulf of Kutch, then covering African part for oil and deploying major industries and on African soil and even not leaving US, as China entered in Latin America tooo.
Now as tension are high between China and India as even Tibet leader Dalai lama has visited Arunachal pradesh [Indian state - which China claim its]
So will India will be benefited from Vietnam

So will India will be benefited from Vietnam
Viet Nam has a very professional force with plenty of combat experience at the mid and upper levels; all it lacks is more modern equipment. the economic reforms are partly motivated by the desire to speed up its modernisation programs.
plus there is the strategic location; a force moving through the South China Sea, in order to avoid Taiwan, becomes exposed to Viet Nam.
and for all its problems, Viet Nam is not involved in a war against Muslim extremists.
in its Look East policy, India has more significant, and motivated, potential allies than China does in its look west.
