Vietnamese vice president visits Thailand

BANGKOK, June 22- Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra welcomed Vietnam?s Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan at Government House on Friday, as both sides agreed to foster bilateral ties between the two countries and support greater roles for women at the regional level.

Madame Doan officially visit Thailand on June 20-24 as a guest of the Thai government to strengthen bilateral ties, as the two countries are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

After a welcoming ceremony, Ms Yingluck and Madame Doan held bilateral talks to exchange ideas and views on furthering bilateral relations, cooperation, and development as well as to foster strategic partnership in terms of politics, economies, society, culture, and education.

During her official trip to the kingdom, the vice president of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam will travel to Thailand?s northeastern provinces of Nakhon Phanom and Khon Kaen, where there are historical connections between Thailand and Indochina, and is to meet with provincial governors.

In addition, Madame Doan is set to visit the Thai-Vietnamese Friendship Village and meet with the large Vietnamese community in Nakhon Phanom where Ho Chi Minh, father and first president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) from 1945 to 1969 and an iconic leader of the post-World War II anti-colonial movement in Asia, once resided.

Affectionately known to Vietnamese as Bac (Uncle) Ho, the Vietnamese independence leader visited Bangkok and lived in Nakhon Phanom in the late 1920s. (MCOT online news)
