Thailand Anutin Charnvirakul spoke highly of the close cooperation with Vietnam,
especially in health, during his meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador Phan Chi
Thanh on September 27.
He told the guest that Thailand has achieved initial success
in curbing the pandemic, reflected through decreases in the numbers of
infections, patients in critical conditions, and fatalities.
He suggested the two countries continue sharing experience
in pandemic prevention and control, and providing each other with medical
equipment and supplies.
The Thai Government will expand vaccinations against
for foreigners living and working in the country, including those from
Vietnam, and at the same time create favourable conditions for AstraZeneca
whose factory is located in the country to maximise capacity and hand over
vaccine to other countries, including Vietnam.

exchange the recognition of “vaccine passports”, agree on entry-exit
regulations and quarantine period for citizens who get full two shots of
vaccine, and soon set up travel corridors between major cities and tourist
attractions to boost economic recovery./.
