PM’s visit to Thailand strengthens political trust: Deputy FMVietNamNet Bridge – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s visit to Thailand was fruitful, with the two PMs discussing frankly cooperation in both bilateral and multilateral frameworks, stated Deputy Foreign Minister Dang Dinh Quy. The two sides discussed long-lasting issues such as how to minimise conflicts at sea, illegal fishing and smuggling on each other’s waters, and illegal Vietnamese workers in Thailand. At the same time, the two PMs decided to set up mechanisms to settle existing problems with these incomplete agreements, thus avoiding further issues, said Deputy FM Quy. The Deputy FM stressed that a highlight of the PM’s visit was his meetings with the Vietnamese community in Thailand. “Vietnam and Thailand compete in football, but should cooperate in all other fields,” stated PM Phuc, a statement his Thai counterpart agreed with.
