King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua and Queen Suthida are paying a state visit to Viet Nam from September 14-16, 2026 at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee and President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam To Lam and his spouse.

King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua and Queen Suthida begin a state visit to Viet Nam on September 14 at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee and President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam To Lam and his spouse.

General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam and President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam To Lam, his spouse and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation have concluded their official visit to the French Republic and attendance at the International Space Summit in Paris, France.

On the occasion of the State visit to Viet Nam by King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua and Queen Suthida from September 14 to 16, 2026, at the invitation of General Secretary and President To Lam and his spouse, Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung spoke to a Nhan Dan Newspaper reporter in Thailand about the visit.

The state visit to Russia by General Secretary and President To Lam, his spouse and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation was a great success and an important diplomatic milestone, affirming Viet Nam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, resilience, peace, friendship, cooperation and development, as well as multilateralisation and diversification of external relations. 

Viet Nam supports and wants BRICS to work closely with regional, inter-regional and global multilateral mechanisms to contribute to peace, stability and cooperation while creating equal and sustainable development opportunities for all countries, said Prime Minister Le Minh Hung.

The frequency of high-level visits does not tell the whole story, but at the very least it reflects clear trust at the highest leadership level, which can then spread to government agencies and other stakeholders in both countries. It also demonstrates unprecedented efforts to translate trust into concrete results, despite practical obstacles that remain, primarily in the cultural, economic and financial spheres.

Affirming that Viet Nam regards Ethiopia as an important partner in Africa, PM Hung called for stronger political trust and more delegation exchanges, especially among ministries, sectors and businesses, to explore trade, investment and business opportunities.

Over the past more than 50 years, Viet Nam and India have worked together to nurture a close, enduring, and comprehensive friendship, with cooperation growing increasingly substantive and in-depth. This historically rich relationship is a valuable shared asset, cherished, preserved, and passed on to younger generations by the people of the two countries, thereby bringing practical benefits to each country’s development while contributing to regional and global peace, stability and cooperation.

The State visit to Viet Nam by the King and Queen of Thailand will mark a new milestone in the history of bilateral relations, bringing Viet Nam-Thailand friendship to greater depth, substance, sustainability and effectiveness for the benefit of the two peoples and for peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

Trung said the visits achieved the objectives and requirements set out, with important results for Viet Nam's relations with Russia and France as well as the country's development in the new period.

PM Hung noted that Viet Nam is transforming its development model toward greater reliance on science and technology, innovation and digital transformation, affirming that Viet Nam wishes to strengthen its long-term partnership with the AIIB, particularly in strategic infrastructure development, green transition and climate change adaptation.

Viet Nam could deepen cooperation with BRICS through four main areas: expanding trade and market access; attracting and promoting two-way investment; engaging deeper in global supply chains and logistics networks; and advancing cooperation in science-technology, innovation and digital transformation.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has urged the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to step up projects and initiatives supporting Viet Nam in capacity building, advanced trade policy training, legal advice on international disputes and trade facilitation, helping the country effectively leverage international agreements and commitments and improve its competitiveness.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung on September 12 called on India's ACME Group and GMR Group to expand investment and cooperation in Viet Nam, particularly in clean energy, green industry, high technology and infrastructure, as Ha Noi seeks to attract investment in strategic sectors.
