The two sides have maintained close coordination at the Party, State and people-to-people levels, while bilateral economic, trade and investment ties remain a bright spot. Two-way trade reached a record nearly 7.8 billion USD in the first seven months of 2026, up 10.3 per cent year on year.The diplomat expressed his belief that the "good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and long-term sustainability" between Việt Nam and Cambodia will continue to deepen across all areas in an increasingly substantive and effective manner.On behalf of the Cambodian Government and people, Neth Savoeun congratulated Việt Nam's Party, State and people on its dynamic socio-economic development, particularly its economic growth of over eight per cent in 2025.He affirmed that Cambodia attaches great importance to its close and comprehensive cooperation with Việt Nam, which is founded on mutual respect and support. He described the friendship between the two countries as special and invaluable, stressing that mutual assistance, both in the past and at present, has contributed to development and prosperity for their peoples.Cambodia, he said, always remembers the historical truth about mutual support and sacrifices made by the peoples of both countries, including Việt Nam's assistance in helping liberate the Cambodian people from the genocidal regime.The Deputy PM added that in 2027, Cambodia and Việt Nam will jointly organise major activities to mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations (June 24, 1967–2027).At the ceremony, more than 500 guests visited a photo exhibition highlighting the two countries' diplomatic activities, promotional booths of Vietnamese businesses operating in Cambodia, and displays reviewing major bilateral events in 2026. They also enjoyed Vietnamese cuisine and musical performances by artists from HCM City's Grandioso band. — VNA/VNS

While the issue may be less apparent under normal circumstances, it could hamper local coordination and response during storms, floods and other disasters when detailed infrastructure data is not readily available.Regarding conditions for participating in auctions and examinations for the rights to use radio frequencies, Đông proposed a provision requiring state management agencies to verify enterprises’ fulfilment of financial obligations by connecting to and exploiting data from the National Public Service Portal and relevant databases.On telecom infrastructure sharing, he suggested specifying the state agency authorised to make decisions.Deputy Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga of Hải Phòng City broadly agreed with the draft and praised its approach. Although it amends four laws simultaneously, she noted, the draft focuses on three key policy areas: cutting and simplifying administrative procedures and investment and business conditions; promoting decentralisation and delegation of authority; and improving management mechanisms to ensure consistency in the legal system.According to the draft, two administrative procedures would be abolished, 47 investment and business conditions cut, four simplified and three amended or supplemented. In the field of radio frequencies alone, 33 of 41 investment and business conditions would be removed.Nga said the measures represent a significant reform and demonstrate a shift from pre-licensing to post-licensing inspection, helping reduce compliance costs. She also stressed the need to strengthen post-licensing inspection capacity once pre-licensing inspection requirements are removed.The draft reflects a shift towards management through standards, technical regulations, data and enforcement monitoring rather than licences, conditions and paperwork, she said.She proposed that guiding decrees clearly define alternative management tools, agencies responsible for each area, databases and sanctions for each group of conditions removed, along with stronger connectivity between national and sectoral databases, and an end to requiring people and businesses to resubmit information already held by state agencies.Deputy Nguyễn Minh Tâm of Quảng Trị Province proposed clarifying provisions on frequency-band allocation for national defence and security purposes.The draft allows, in special cases, frequency bands to be allocated for up to five years to State-owned enterprises directly serving national defence and security to develop economic activities in combination with performing defence and security tasks.Tâm said the concepts of “special cases” and “economic development combined with national defence and security tasks” remain qualitative and lack specific criteria, potentially leading to inconsistent application. He proposed authorising the Government to set detailed criteria for special cases, eligibility conditions and assessment of such activities to ensure consistent and transparent implementation. — VNA/VNS

He also urged the effective implementation of the action plan for the Việt Nam–Thailand Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for 2026–31 and expressed his hope to welcome the King and Queen of Thailand on a visit to Việt Nam soon.The top legislator of Thailand conveyed greetings and best wishes from King Maha Vajiralongkorn, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and other Thai leaders to his host and high-ranking leaders of Việt Nam.He congratulated Việt Nam on its remarkable development achievements and praised the country's growing role and standing in the region and the wider world. He also expressed Thailand's interest in learning from Việt Nam's experience in streamlining the organisational apparatus.National Assembly President Sophon Zaram affirmed that Thailand always attaches great importance to its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Việt Nam, noting the two countries share a solid foundation of friendship, many common strategic interests and significant potential for cooperation.He said the elevation of bilateral ties has ushered in a new phase in their relations and voiced his wish to further expand all-round cooperation, particularly in the fields of economy, trade, education and tourism.Commending the close cooperation between the two legislatures in recent years, the visiting leader stated that the Thai National Assembly will continue to work closely with Việt Nam's National Assembly to strengthen cooperation in both bilateral and multilateral aspects, while boosting the sharing of experience in legislation, supervision and decision-making on major national issues.Both host and guest agreed to step up defence and security cooperation, strengthen coordination in combating transnational crime, and soon translate the "Three Connects" strategy into concrete action.They also agreed to effectively implement joint programmes and projects to enhance connectivity between the two economies, promote balanced and sustainable bilateral trade, and work towards a trade turnover of US$25 billion, with the longer-term goal of $50 billion as in line with the common understanding reached by the two countries' leaders.The Thai parliamentary leader thanked Việt Nam for its support and favourable conditions for Thai businesses investing and operating in the country.The two sides agreed to continue creating favourable conditions and encouraging businesses from each country to expand their investments in the other.Sharing his guest’s view on the important bridging role played by the Vietnamese community in Thailand, Party General Secretary and President Lâm called on the Thai legislature and relevant authorities to continue to support the community, enabling them to enjoy stable lives and make further contributions to the friendship between the two peoples.He also suggested further promoting ties between the Communist Party of Việt Nam and Thailand's Bhumjaithai Party, thereby broadening the foundation for stable bilateral cooperation.The two leaders agreed that their countries will maintain close coordination within regional and international cooperation mechanisms, particularly ASEAN, the Mekong subregional frameworks and the United Nations, for the benefit of the two peoples and to contribute to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region. — VNA/VNS

Participants also clarified three key issues of properly understanding development orientations and tasks associated with the country's two centenary goals; correctly understanding the position and mission of foreign affairs and international integration; and correctly understanding and fully grasping the Party's and the State's guiding principles and major orientations for foreign affairs in the new period.In his closing remarks, Trung expressed his sincere gratitude for the close attention and guidance of Party General Secretary and President Tô Lâm, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng, National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn, Permanent member of the Party Central Committee's Secretariat Trần Cẩm Tú, and other Party and State leaders.

Well-prepared projects that match Việt Nam's needs with French strengths will create fresh momentum for bilateral ties and deliver tangible development benefits.Beyond investment and financing, he emphasised the need to prioritise human resources training, knowledge transfer, governance expertise, technology absorption and localisation, and greater integration of Vietnamese enterprises into global production and supply chains.The Vietnamese Embassy in France, he said, will continue working closely with ministries, localities and businesses to identify partners, develop projects and resolve implementation challenges, helping transform cooperation potential and commitments into concrete, sustainable results that support Việt Nam's industrialisation and modernisation.On improving the effectiveness of Việt Nam's missions abroad, Ambassador Hải said reform must begin with new thinking and working methods. Representative offices need to become more proactive, responsive and professional in research, policy advice, networking and implementing diplomatic activities.He underlined that every diplomat should not only understand the host country but also be able to identify cooperation opportunities, connect resources and accompany Vietnamese localities, businesses and citizens in international integration.Missions abroad should also strengthen external communications, cultural diplomacy and engagement with overseas Vietnamese communities, helping project the image of a peaceful, stable, innovative and dynamic Việt Nam that is a trusted partner and responsible member of the international community.He added that Việt Nam's prestige and standing are built not only on domestic achievements but also on its contributions to peace, cooperation and development regionally and globally. The true value of a mission abroad lies not merely in carrying out routine diplomatic duties, but in providing sound policy advice, effectively connecting partners and persistently advancing cooperation programmes until they deliver concrete outcomes.This requires every diplomat to continuously strengthen political resolve, professional expertise, foreign language proficiency, research capabilities and adaptability to the evolving international environment, he stated.According to the ambassador, when missions abroad become trusted bridges linking Vietnam with international partners and effectively support ministries, localities and businesses at home, they make a practical contribution to enhancing the country's international standing and reputation.&nbsp;— VNA/VNS
