The Thai legislator also took the occasion to express his delight at the extensive and practical cooperation between the two countries, both bilaterally and multilaterally, adding they should join hands and promote the “three connections” initiative, bolster cooperation mechanisms in all fields, and pay due attention to culture and education cooperation, with focus on the teaching and learning of Vietnamese and Thai languages in each nation.

He said he hopes that the Thai Senate will keep supports for Thai enterprises to continue landing green investments in Vietnam, especially in environmentally-friendly projects, green agriculture and infrastructure development.
Besides, Thanh also expected the Senate, through the parliamentary cooperation mechanisms, will assist other fields of cooperation such as culture, education, health care, science-technology and people-to-people exchange./.
