Consul General Nguyen Ngoc Son
Nguyen Ngoc Son, Consul General said over the last 72 years Vietnam, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the late President Ho Chi Minh, has overcome numerous difficulties to obtain great achievements in its national defence and construction process.

Mr Son briefed the participants, especially overseas Vietnamese, on the current situation at home, particularly in the fields of economy and diplomacy.

The traditional friendship and cooperation relations between Vietnam and Thailand have constantly developed and flourished in recent years. The two sides have conducted regular exchange visits at all levels to lift their strategic partnership to a new height, said Mr Son.

Mr Son appreciated active contributions of the overseas Vietnamese community to the development of Thailand’s economy and to preserving and promoting Vietnamese culture and learning and teaching of the Vietnamese language.

Meanwhile, the Governor of Khon Kaen, Mr. Phongsak Preechawit, sent best regards to Vietnam on the occasion of its National Day and said OVs in Thailand serve as a bridge to strengthen ties between the two countries.
