At the meeting, Viet Nam’s top leader welcomed major Thai corporations expanding investment and business operations in Viet Nam, particularly in areas aligned with the country’s development needs and capable of adding value to bilateral cooperation.

Viet Nam attaches importance to its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Thailand, in which economic, trade, investment, and business connectivity cooperation serves as a key pillar contributing to sustainable growth and stronger links between the two economies, he said.

Acknowledging TCC Group’s investment and business activities in Viet Nam over recent years, the Vietnamese leader encouraged the group to continue expanding its operations in the country with a focus on improving governance capacity, promoting science and technology application, innovation, and environmental protection, and making contributions to local communities.

For his part, Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi said TCC Group operates in key sectors including food and beverages, industry and commerce, finance and insurance, real estate, agriculture, and agro-industry, with footprint spanning Viet Nam, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and several others.
