The host and the guest rejoiced at the success of the 12th rotating meeting between leaders of the two Associations and the second people-to-people friendly exchange in Da Nang in September 2023. There were Vietnamese delegations attending the Vietnam - Thailand Business Forum in May 2023 in Bangkok.
The Viet Nam - Thailand Friendship Association also coordinated with the Thailand - Viet Nam Friendship Association to organize a visit and working visit of the business delegation from Thailand with businesses in Ha Tinh province and coordinated with the Viet Nam - Thailand Friendship Association of Thua Thien Hue for the scientific conference "Strengthening cooperation between Viet Nam - Thailand in the fields of Green economic development, culture and education in the next context."
