The comeback of Mini Thailand Week to Hai Phong after a three-year hiatus reflects Thai trade authorities' strong appreciation for Hai Phong city’s immense potential in trade and investment.

Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was always a very dear friend of Thailand, stated Thai Ambassador to Vietnam Urawadee Sriphiromya, clarifying that under his leadership, the Thailand-Vietnam relationship has flourished in all aspects.

Vietnam always attaches importance to its relations with neighbouring and ASEAN countries, including comprehensive cooperation with Thailand, Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang said at a reception for newly-appointed Thai Ambassador to Vietnam Nikonrndej Balankura in Hanoi on November 18.

Mini Thailand Week has returned to the northern port city of Hai Phong this year, starting on June 25 and aiming to restore trade between the two countries following COVID-19.

A Hanoi leader has pledged to create a stable environment for Thai businesses to engage in long-term investment and business operations in the city, calling for more firms from the neighbouring country to invest in Hanoi.

Thai Ambassador to Vietnam Panyarak Poolthup has been awarded the insignia “For Peace and Friendship among Nations” by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO).
