Mr. Hue made the remarks while delivering a keynote speech at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok as part of his official visit to Thailand.
Chulalongkorn is one of the most prestigious and oldest universities in Thailand, with a tradition spanning over 100 years. Chairman Hue said that for lasting and sustainable peace, all countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, and all ASEAN member states, have a responsibility to contribute to promoting dialogue and cooperation, respecting the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law, including the peaceful settlement of disputes while refraining from the threat or use of force.
“This is a vital issue today and is our responsibility to future generations”, he said. In order to further deepen the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Thailand, Mr. Hue suggested strengthening political trust and national defense-security cooperation, fostering greater solidarity and innovation under the guiding principles of “reliability, responsibility, sincerity, cooperation for mutual benefit and shared progress”.

He also proposed strengthening intensive and extensive economic integration and effectively implementing the “Three Connectivity Partnership” strategy, towards quickly achieving two-way trade of 25 billion USD in a more balanced manner.
It’s necessary to step up cooperation in tourism, culture, education and people-to-people exchanges while upholding multilateralism and international solidarity, while enhancing close coordination with multilateral cooperation frameworks.
“Vietnam and Thailand are important, prestigious, and responsible members of the community and enjoy fruitful political relations. It’s time to elevate our bilateral ties. The determination of the two governments plays a crucial role in realizing the two countries’ shared aspiration and vision,” he said.
