HCM City (VNA) – Ho Chi Minh City is committed to serving as a bridge boosting the friendship and close cooperation between Vietnam and Thailand, stated Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Vo Van Hoan at a ceremony marking the 97th anniversary of Thailand's National Day (December 5, 1927 - 2024) in the city on December 2 evening.

Speaking at the event, held by the Thai Consulate General, Hoan expressed his belief that with the spirit of cooperation and solidarity, the two countries will continue to overcome challenges and seize opportunities to achieve greater accomplishments.

The official showed his delight at the flourishing relations between the two countries, particularly in economy, trade, logistics, energy security, and climate change response, which have helped strengthen supply chains and foster sustainable development.

In addition, cultural exchanges, and tourism and educational cooperation have provided new momentum, contributing to further strengthening the bonds and cooperation between the people of the two countries, he noted, describing the progress as a demonstration of the shared commitment to building a better future.

According to Hoan, Thailand is currently a key partner of HCM City, especially in terms of trade, investment, culture, and tourism. Cultural events and people-to-people exchanges held by Thailand in the city have fostered mutual understanding and deep connection between the two peoples.

The southern metropolis values the contributions of the Thai community here and is confident that this relationship will continue to be strengthened and grow further in the future, he affirmed.

Consul General Wiraka Moodhitaporn stressed that the bilateral relationship is built on a shared history and common prosperity, with cooperation extending across all areas from politics to economy, trade, investment, and people-to-people exchanges.

The “Thailand Week” in HCM City, one of the crucial events to be held by the Consulate General early 2025, along with many others throughout the year, will serve as an important foundation for future cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides, she said.

The diplomat affirmed that the Consulate General, along with Thai government agencies in HCM City, are committed to promoting an effective partnership between the two countries at all levels and encouraging Thai investors to make contributions to Vietnam's socio-economic development./.
