Ambassador Nguyen Tat Thanh and Vietnamese expats welcomed Thai Princess
|
Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Nguyen Tat Thanh said that this was her first visit to the Vietnamese Embassy, noting that it is a significant event among a series of activities to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Vietnam-Thailand diplomatic ties (August 6, 1976-2016).
The bilingual pictorial book, entitled “Vietnam through the lens of Princess Maha Chaktri Sirindhon”, was compiled by the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand. It includes 100 photos depicting the beauty of Vietnam, 60 of which were taken by the Princess during her visits to Vietnam from 1993-2015.
The book also features photos of the Princess’s meetings with Vietnamese leaders and people, photographed by Vietnam New Agency reporters. Published on the 40th anniversary of Vietnam-Thailand diplomatic ties, the book is a demonstration for the growing strategic partnership relations between the two countries.
The Thai royal member also attended a ceremony to inaugurate the embassy’s exhibition room displaying objects and documents on the two nations’ relations as well as the history of the overseas Vietnamese community in Thailand. The room will open to Vietnamese expats and Thai people.
This year marks a noteworthy milestone in Vietnam-Thailand relations. A line-up of activities will be organised throughout 2016 to celebrate the event, including painting exhibitions, book publishing, conferences and setting up twinning relationship between the two countries’ provinces.
The ambassador spoke highly of Vietnamese expats’ contributions to developing provincial socio-economy and enhancing friendship relations, economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between Thailand and Vietnam. Both sides expressed their wish for increased people-to-people exchange, tourism and cultural cooperation as well as economic and trade links, contributing to further strengthening mutual trust and understanding between the two nations.
