Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Nguyen Hai Bang reported to the PM that the relations between Vietnam and Thailand are developing well in various fields.

The diplomat said Vietnamese people in Thailand always trust in the Vietnamese Party and State’s policies and they are serving as a bridge to connect the two countries.

Trinh Cao Son, chairman of the association of Vietnamese-Thai people, pledged to spare no efforts to build a strong Vietnamese community, preserve national cultural identities, and increase mutual understanding and friendship between the Vietnamese and Thai people.

After listening to the aspirations of overseas Vietnamese in Thailand, PM Phuc informed them the country’s remarkable achievements in economy and politics.

While evaluating the relations between Vietnam and Thailand, he said the two countries are enjoying the best relationship in their history.

He asked the Vietnamese community to continue supporting one another in preserving their cultural traditions, particularly the Vietnamese language and script.

The Government leader encouraged them to facilitate their younger generations in studying to become researchers and scientists in a developed society.

He stressed that each Vietnamese should become a bridge attracting Thai tourists and investors to Vietnam and bringing Vietnamese goods to Thailand.

In the afternoon of the same day, PM Phuc and his entourage left Bangkok, concluding his trip to attend the 34th ASEAN Summit.
