Vietnam and Thailand have agreed to work more closely with each other on rice exports, labour co-operation and the fight against human trafficking.
This was decided by Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan at a reception in Bangkok on June 22.
Doan said she appreciates what Thailand has accomplished, particularly in overcoming the disastrous flood that hit the country last year.
She told the Thai PM she believes Thailand will become more successful in building a prosperous nation and playing an active role in region and the world.

The two nations agreed to work with concerned countries on a scientific study on the impact of hydro-power plants on the Mekong River .
