Chairwoman Ngan called on Thailand to increase the import of products from Vietnam to balance the bilateral trade value.
The Chairwoman highly appreciated the cooperation between the two legislative bodies, especially their coordination in regional and international forums such the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), as well as cooperative activities among friendship parliamentarian groups.
She expressed her hope that the diplomat will make more contribution to effectively bolster cooperation between the two countries.
