He attended a ceremony to launch the carrier Thai Vietjet, a joint venture between Thailand’s Kan Air and Viet Nam’s VietJet Air.

Thai Vietjet is set to operate flights within Thailand and between Thailand and Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam while expanding the routes currently exploited by VietJet Air.

He met with Chairman of the Thailand – Viet Nam Friendship Association Prachuop Chayasan and asked the association to strongly support the two governments and business communities, as an effort to lift bilateral ties to a greater height.

Viet Nam and Thailand have set to raise their trade from 11 billion USD at present to 15 billion USD by 2020.
