For a lasting and sustainable peace, all countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, and 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 and refraining from the use or threat to use force. “This is a vital issue nowadays and is our responsibility to future generations”, he said.

Speaking highly of Thailand's role and contributions to ASEAN’s formation and development, the NA Chairman said that in the new context, building a strong, united and resilient ASEAN with a central role in the regional structure and good relations with external partners is a priority direction for the Vietnam-Thailand strategic partnership.

In order to further deepen the contents of the bilateral strategic partnership, he suggested strengthening political trust and national defence-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 soon achieving a two-way trade of 25 billion USD in a more balanced manner.

Another suggestion was stepping up cooperation in tourism, culture, education and people-to-people exchanges while upholding multilateralism and international solidarity, enhancing close coordination at multilateral cooperation frameworks. 

To realise the above directions, Chairman Hue said the Vietnamese NA wishes to strengthen comprehensive and effective cooperation with the Thai Parliament, contributing to deepening the Vietnam-Thailand relationship, making it more profound, practical and effective.
