HƯNG YÊN – A programme to promote Thailand’s culture to people in the northern province of Hưng Yên was held by the provincial People’s Committee and the Thai Embassy in Việt Nam on September 29.
Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Council of the province Trần Quốc Toản gave an overview of the locality’s socio-economic development in recent times and future orientations.
He affirmed that together with the whole country, Hưng Yên is constantly making efforts to contribute to maintaining and further developing the enhanced strategic partnership between Việt Nam and Thailand.
