STORYLINE:
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra met Vietnamese Communist Party chief To Lam and President Luong Cuong on Friday, before concluding her two-day official visit to Hanoi.
During Paetongtarn’s trip, Vietnam and Thailand upgraded their ties to the highest level of diplomacy, the comprehensive strategic partnership, which was announced following Paetongtarn’s meeting with her Vietnamese counterpart Pham Minh Chinh.
Thailand is Vietnam’s largest trading partner in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) bloc and its seventh largest in the world.
Bilateral trade reached over 20 billion dollars in 2024.
Paetongtarn’s trip was her first visit to Vietnam as prime minister.
Vietnam now treats Thailand the same way as it does the U.S., China and Russia, its main strategic partners.
The closer ties aim to enhance political, defense and security cooperation, boost trade to $25 billion and increase tourism and green energy cooperation, state media said.
