The diplomat highlighted the promotion of the enhanced strategic partnership through the “Three Connects” strategy which was mentioned by Don at the Vietnam-Thailand Business Forum held in June 2022 in Thailand, adding that the two sides should enhance the strategy's awareness among government units, enterprises and people in the time ahead.

He hoped that Thailand will support the establishment of Vietnamese culture and education centres and Vietnamese studies centres at Thai universities as well as the teaching and learning of Thai language in Vietnam.
As the two countries are celebrating the 10th founding anniversary of strategic partnership (2013-2023), Thanh expected that the two sides will maintain meetings and exchanges of delegations at the high-level.
For his part, Don said he was glad to see that Thailand-Vietnam relations have been developing fruitfully both in bilateral aspects and multilateral mechanisms in the region.
He expressed his wish that the Vietnamese government will continue to create favourable conditions for Thai groups and enterprises investing in Vietnam and emphasised the importance of collaboration in several areas such as economy, culture and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, especially the introduction of Thailand’s Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy to the neighbouring country./.
