KOLKATA: The Singur issue will have no impact on Vietnamese trade and investment in India, country's Ambassador to India Mr Vu Quang Diem said here. “I am aware of the Singur issue but that would not have any impact in our investment scenario,” he said h ere on the sidelines of an interactive session with Bharat Chamber of Commerce members.

He said that yesterday he met various West Bengal ministers, minister of food processing Mr Mohanta Chatterjee, minister of higher education Mr Sudarshan Roy, minister of fisheries Mr Kiranmay Nanda and minister of Agriculture Mr Naren Dey and discussed all possible cooperation with the state.

“We have very close bond with West Bengal” he said.
