On 11 February 2010, Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung, Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, paid a courtesy call on Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya on the occasion of his completion of his mission in Thailand.
Foreign Minister Kasit and Ambassador Hung exchanged views on ways and means to strengthen the bilateral cooperation mechanism between Thailand and Vietnam. Both sides reaffirmed their determination to promote the transportation connectivity in the region and minimize the problems relating to the East - West Economic Corridor in order to increase the economic benefits of Thailand and Vietnam as well as other countries in the region.
On this occasion, Ambassador Hung requested the Thai side to share her experience as the ASEAN Chair last year. He also confirmed Vietnam’s readiness to participate in the first Political Consultation Group to be held in Thailand in March which would also provide an opportunity for both sides to review the overall relations and improve the related mechanism to enhance the bilateral cooperation.
On the occasion, Foreign Minister Kasit also hosted a luncheon in honour of Ambassador Hung and his accompanying party.
