Thanh hoped that Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi with their strengths would push for cooperation with their Vietnamese peers toward the establishment of twin town relations.
Ronapop Leungpiroj, Governor of Ratchaburi, said the tourism industries of Vietnam and Thailand see many prospects for cooperation, especially after both countries have loosened their post-COVID-19 immigration policies.
Ronnapop Viengsimma, Deputy Governor of Kanchanaburi, said the province wants to set up twining ties with a Vietnamese locality but the plan is hindered by COVID-19. He said he will propose the governor to implement the twining plan.
Ambassador Thanh thanked the Kanchanaburi authorities for supporting the Vietnamese community in maintaining Vietnamese pagodas there and stated the embassy is willing to aid the province to connect with Vietnamese localities for cooperation promotion in the time to come./.
