At a working session with Saraburi Deputy Governor Angkana Chitatitta, Thanh highlighted the important meaning of the cemetery in encouraging and assisting the community to maintain burial rites according to Vietnamese customs and practices; and to preserve and promote the cultural identity of their home country.
Highlighting the sound growth of the strengthened strategic partnership between Vietnam and Thailand across almost all fields, Thanh affirmed that Thailand is an important partner of Vietnam in Southeast Asia.
He proposed the provincial authorities continue creating favourable conditions for the Thai people of Vietnamese origin working and living in Saraburi, and study demand for cooperation and connection with Vietnamese localities via the exchanges of visits by leaders and businesses.
The Vietnamese Embassy is ready to work closely with Saraburi in promoting such collaboration and linkages with their Vietnamese peers, Thanh stressed.
Expressing her delight at the community’s building of their own cemetery, the deputy governor pledged to provide more assistance and favourable conditions for them to live and work in the province.
She also said Saraburi is willing to send business delegations to Vietnam, learning about the nation’s investment environment and cooperation especially in industry, construction and culture.
