Thai Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will lead a high-level delegation to Hanoi on June 8-9 to deepen economic ties with Vietnam.

Market Impact

According to Prime Minister’s Office spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek, Anutin will attend the 3rd Asean Future Forum and hold bilateral talks with Vietnam’s President, Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Assembly.

The delegation includes more than 10 Thai companies with investments in Vietnam and key ministers: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow; Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas; Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun; Defence Minister Lt Gen Adul Boonthumjaroen; Tourism and Sports Minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul; Energy Minister Akanat Promphan; and Industry Minister Varawut Silpa-archa.

The composition reflects Thailand’s focus on trade, investment, energy, tourism, industry, logistics and private-sector cooperation.

Anutin’s visit follows Vietnamese General Secretary To Lam’s May 27-28 trip to Thailand, during which the two leaders signed four cooperation documents, including a Plan of Action for the Thailand-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership 2026-2031 and an MOU to develop a maintenance, repair and overhaul centre at U-Tapao International Airport.

Thailand and Vietnam have set a target of raising bilateral trade to US$25 billion, from about US$24 billion currently, according to Thai government data. The two countries will pursue cooperation under the “Three Connects” strategy, covering supply-chain connectivity, local-economy connectivity and sustainable-development strategy connectivity.

During his visit, Anutin will meet Thai businesses operating in Vietnam to identify ways to support expansion and unlock new opportunities, according to Rachada. He will also join the Thailand-Vietnam Investment and Business Forum organised by Vietnam’s Board of Investment.

The Asean Future Forum, themed “Shaping Our Future Together: Peace, Prosperity and People-Centred”, will run in Hanoi from June 9-10. Anutin will be the first Thai prime minister to attend the forum in person, Rachada said.

For Malaysian businesses, the visit signals a potential increase in Thai-Vietnam trade and investment flows, creating new supply-chain and market opportunities for regional firms.
