Speaking at the event, Lieutenant General Nguyen Quoc Khanh, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army, underscored the point that Vietnam and Thailand – both ASEAN members- share a number of cultural similarities and have maintained the time-honoured friendship.
The relationship between the Vietnam People Army and the Royal Thai Armed Forces has seen vigorous growth through delegation exchange and young military officer interactions, navy-to-navy cooperation, air force cooperation, education, information and experience sharing in building armed forces.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand’s recent Vietnam visit in early this year demonstrated the two countries’ desire to promote stronger bilateral defence cooperation, Khanh said.
Thailand Ambassador to Vietnam Panyarak Poolthup expressed his hope that the friendship and cooperation between the two armies are in line with the two nations’ expectation and contribute to regional peace and prosperity.
