Vietnamese President To Lam is set to visit New Delhi from May 5-7, where he is expected to engage in discussions regarding the potential purchase of BrahMos missiles, a supersonic cruise missile system developed by BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia.
