Looking ahead, Vietnam is moving from an economy largely driven by manufacturing to one increasingly powered by innovation, technology, and domestic consumption.
At the ASEAN-Vietnam 2026 event, “50 years of Vietnam–Thailand diplomatic relations,” organized by Casen Vietnam 2026, former Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Quang Vinh said the bilateral relationship is entering a new phase with an upgrade to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He linked the partnership to goals including sustainable peace, inclusive development, innovation, and stronger regional cooperation.
Pham Quang Vinh also highlighted that Vietnam regards Thailand as the largest trading partner in ASEAN. He said the two core priorities are building resilient supply chains against global shocks and continuing to strengthen people-to-people connectivity.

In consumer goods, Visouveth said Vietnamese brands are increasingly favored in areas such as food and apparel, enabling further expansion into Thailand through modern trade channels and e-commerce.
