During the past term, Vietnam - Thailand Friendship Association of the city carried out numerous activities and achieved noteworthy results. Communication and people-to-people external information work was given due attention, contributing to raising awareness among members and the community about the traditional friendship and Vietnam - Thailand “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”. Through this, positive information was disseminated, along with the spirit of solidarity and mutual sharing between the peoples of the two countries.

The Association flexibly renewed its modes of operation, gradually adapting to the new context; maintained connections with friendship organizations and Thai friends through appropriate forms; and actively participated in exchange and external affairs activities. At the same time, the work of building and consolidating the association organization were emphasized, while members increasingly demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to friendship activities. The Association’s core role in people-to-people diplomacy and cultural exchange within the city continued to be affirmed.

The achievements reflect a strong sense of responsibility and deep confidence in the long-standing traditional friendship between the peoples of Vietnam and Thailand in general, and between Hue City and provinces and cities in Northeast Thailand in particular.

In the context of the Vietnam - Thailand “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” continuing to be consolidated and developed, Vietnam - Thailand Friendship Association of the city bears the responsibility to further promote its bridging role, contributing to enhanced understanding, trust, and enduring friendship between the two countries, and between Hue City and Thai partners.

The Congress also elected a new Executive Committee consisting of 23 members; Mr. Dinh Manh Thang was re-elected as President of Vietnam–Thailand Friendship Association of the city for the 2025 - 2030 term.
