She affirmed that Vietnam always values and seeks to further strengthen the two nations’ bonds, mutual trust, and enhanced strategic partnership, with an aim of upgrading their relationship in the near future. Additionally, leaders of the Vietnamese Party and State are keen to promote cooperative relations between the sides’ legislative bodies.
In line with the cooperation agreement signed between the two parliaments in December 2023, Thanh suggested both countries continue to leverage the role of their parliamentary friendship groups, and promote all-level delegation exchanges, particularly inter-parliamentary exchange programs to share experience in law making and monitor of the implementation of bilateral agreements. Moreover, both countries should effectively carry out the action program for their enhanced strategic partnership in the 2022-2027 period.
She said the Vietnamese N.A. and Government always facilitate and encourage Thai enterprises’ business operations and investment expansion in Vietnam, particularly in the areas of digital transformation, digital economy, green economy, clean energy, and just energy transition.
With a hope for the Thai parliament’s further support for the bilateral ties at multilateral forums, especially at the United Nations, the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly, ASEAN, and sub-regional cooperation mechanisms, Thanh called for the maintenance of close consultations and coordination with each other and with other ASEAN countries, serving the ASEAN Community building. It is also necessary to strengthen intra-bloc solidarity and enhance ASEAN's centrality in addressing regional issues, she added.
The Thai chairperson told his host that since its establishment, the friendship group has undertaken many practical activities to fortify relationships between the parliamentarians of the two countries and their respective legislative bodies.
He affirmed his commitment to acting as a bridge, inheriting, and developing the good relations between Vietnam and Thailand.
