President Phuc’s official visit to Thailand takes place amid the thriving enhanced strategic partnership between the two countries. It is the first to the country by a senior Vietnamese leader after the 13th National Party Congress and also the first by a President of Vietnam after 24 years.
The President’s participation in the 29th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Bangkok strongly reflects Vietnam’s active and proactive efforts to integrate comprehensively and intensively into the world and promote multilateral diplomacy, thereby contributing to regional peace, cooperation, and economic connectivity and popularizing Vietnam as a country with stability and positive economic growth after the COVID-19 pandemic.
