Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on 8 June 2026 held a bilateral meeting with Mr. Le Minh Hung, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on the occasion of his official visit to Vietnam. The two sides agreed to enhance military cooperation, particularly through the establishment of a border defense cooperation mechanism, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On the economic front, both sides supported greater engagement between the private sectors of the two countries, the achievement of the bilateral trade target of USD 25 billion, and the setting of an even more ambitious trade target in the future. 

Prime Minister Anutin also requested the Vietnamese government to continue supporting Thai private-sector investments in Vietnam and encouraged greater Vietnamese investment in Thailand in order to promote a more balanced flow of two-way investment.

Both sides also exchanged views on regional developments. The Thai side briefed Vietnam on the Thailand - Cambodia situation, while the Vietnamese side expressed support for the peaceful resolution of issues between the two countries. In addition, both sides agreed that ASEAN should increase its engagement with Myanmar.

On the same day, the Prime Minister met Mr. Tran Thanh Man, Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam. Both sides reaffirmed the close and longstanding ties between Thailand and Vietnam and welcomed the elevation of bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. 

They also underscored the importance of close cooperation between the legislative branches of both countries, particularly in implementing the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation between the House of Representatives of Thailand and the National Assembly of Vietnam, enhancing the role of the Thailand–Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Groups, and coordinating positions in multilateral parliamentary forums, including the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).

The Prime Minister also requested the Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam to support and facilitate a conducive regulatory environment for Thai investors operating in Vietnam.
