The year 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Viet Nam and Thailand (1976-2026) and the 30th anniversary of the establishment and development of the Viet Nam-Thailand Friendship Association (1996-2026). Throughout the history of bilateral relations, the Association has consistently nurtured the friendship between the two countries while gradually expanding its activities from traditional exchanges to cooperation among localities and businesses, as well as in education, culture and among younger generations, thereby contributing to greater understanding and cooperation between the peoples of Viet Nam and Thailand.
Addressing the conference, Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung emphasised the role of local foreign affairs in realising the nation’s development goal, affirming that the national target of achieving 10% growth is a substantive requirement, with local foreign affairs playing an important role in realising this goal.
