Vietnam, Thailand strengthen parliamentary ties
Tuesday, August 15,2017AsemconnectVietnam - Top Vietnamese and Thai legislators have praised their bilateral cooperation across a variety of fields, especially in legislation and underlined the need to share common viewpoints and support each other in issues of shared concern at international and regional inter-parliamentary forums.
The officials said to optimise the countries’ cooperation potential, specialised agencies of the two parliaments should closely supervise the Governments’ cooperation agreements and maintain delegation exchanges at all levels. The two parliamentary friendship groups also need to intensify connections.
Bilateral trade between the two nations reached US$12.5 billion in 2016, up 8.9% year on year, and roughly US$7 billion in the first half of 2017, up 22.5% from a year earlier.
About agriculture, fisheries and labour, the legislators discussed the acceleration of signing a new memorandum of understanding on agricultural cooperation between Vietnam and Thailand, and the signing of an agreement on setting up a hotline for fishery activities at sea.
Last year, about 800,000 Vietnamese tourists came to Thailand, but only 260,000 Thais visited Vietnam. Pornpetch Wichitcholchai said he hopes after the opening of more routes between the two countries, the number of Thai visitors to Vietnam will increase in the time to come.
