India will set up a satellite tracking and imaging centre in southern Vietnam that will give Hanoi access to pictures from Indian earth observation satellites that cover the region, including China and the South China Sea.
- The move is set to deepen ties between India and Vietnam, who both have long-running territorial disputes with China.
Billed as a civilian facility – earth observation satellites have agricultural, scientific and environmental applications. The improved imaging technology meant the pictures could also be used for military purposes.
- ISRO will fund and set up the satellite tracking and data reception centre in Ho Chi Minh City to monitor satellite launches.
