Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam (R) receives Thailand’s Deputy PM and President of the National Olympic Committee Prawit Wongsuwon, who is visiting Vietnam to attend SEA Games 31.

Mr. Dam congratulated Thailand on getting COVID-19 under control, reopening its borders, and resuming socio-economic development. He thanked Thailand for sending the largest delegation — some 1,400 people — to SEA Games 31, and hailed their outstanding success so far. Thailand currently stands second in the medal tally.

The Thai Deputy PM said Thailand will bolster cooperation with Vietnam in the coming time, including an exchange of sports delegations to share experience in sports management, training, and development.

The two countries will support each other, he said, at international sport conferences, and will step up cooperation in sports training, management, and medicine.
