Vietnam and Thailand have officially upgraded their ties to a strategic partnership, marking a significant step forward in regional diplomacy.
The move puts Thailand on the same level as Vietnam’s key global partners—the U.S., China, and Russia—and reflects growing cooperation between the two Southeast Asian nations.
The announcement followed Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s visit to Hanoi, where she met with her Vietnamese counterpart, Pham Minh Chinh.
The new strategic partnership will focus on closer coordination in politics, defense, and security. Both sides also aim to boost trade to $25 billion, and expand collaboration in tourism and clean energy development, according to state media.
