Welcoming the Vietnamese guests, Rear Admiral Thawatchai Phimmuang, Deputy Commander of Region 2 of the Royal Thai Navy, emphasised that the relations between the two forces have been continuously strengthened and developed, making an important contribution to maintaining peace and stability in the waters bordering Vietnam - Thailand, and creating favourable conditions for the peoples of the two countries to develop the marine economy.

In the coming time, the two sides will continue to promote patrol activities and delegation exchanges. They will also effectively maintain communication channels, especially hotlines, and promptly coordinate to properly handle unexpected incidents at sea constructively and with respect to international law, independence, national sovereignty, and for the benefit of each country.
