Prime Minister Le Minh Hung and Thai counterpart Anutin Charnvirakul have agreed to set a new bilateral trade goal of $50 billion during their talks in Hanoi on June 8.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is now in Vietnam for an official visit and attendance at the ASEAN Future Forum 2026 hosted by Vietnam.

The two Prime Ministers expressed their pleasure at the robust growth of Vietnam - Thailand relations over the past five decades since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1976.

The two leaders agreed to effectively implement the "three connectivity" strategy; promote transport, logistics, tourism and aviation connectivity; reduce trade barriers to boost movement of goods in a bid to soon reach the bilateral trade target of $25 billion, towards the new goal of $50 billion.

Both sides concurred to promote agriculture cooperation to ensure food security, as well as cooperation in the fields of science, technology, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, green economy, just energy transition, and innovation.

PM Hung stressed that Vietnam always welcomes and creates conditions for foreign investors, including those from Thailand, to invest and do business in Vietnam.
