Earlier, on December 9 evening, also in Udon Thani, the Vietnamese top legislator met around 600 people representing more than 100,000 Vietnamese who are living and working in Thailand.

At the meeting, Huệ shared that Thailand was the first country in the ASEAN region to establish a strategic partnership with Việt Nam. During the talks and meetings this time, the King, Queen, Prime Minister, President of the National Assembly, and President of the Senate of Thailand all agreed that Thailand and Việt Nam need to soon upgrade their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership in the near future.

He also said that the King and Queen of Thailand welcoming the Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly is unprecedented, demonstrating the King's special affection for the relationship between the two countries.

He affirmed that the Party and State always create favourable conditions for Vietnamese people abroad to return to and invest in the homeland. He also shared the legislature’s approval of a regulation on granting e-visas to citizens of all countries with the validity period increasing from 30 to 90 days, and the stay period up from 15 to 45 days.

On this occasion, Huệ presented 100 sets of books for Vietnamese language learning to Vietnamese children in Thailand.

Earlier, NA Chairman Huệ visited Udon Thani Rajabhat University, which has signed a lot of cooperation programmes with Vietnamese education institutions in various localities like Đà Nẵng, Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị, Thái Nguyên, and Điện Biên.

Hue appreciated the university's cooperation activities with Việt Nam, its teaching of Vietnamese language, and its recent establishment of a centre on Vietnamese studies.

He expressed his hope that the university will continue to create favourable conditions for Vietnamese students learning at the university, and further promote Vietnamese language teaching as well as cooperation activities with Vietnamese educational institutions.
