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.
