He attended a ceremony to launch the carrier Thai Vietjet, a joint venture between Thailand’s Kan Air and Viet Nam’s VietJet Air.
Thai Vietjet is set to operate flights within Thailand and between Thailand and Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam while expanding the routes currently exploited by VietJet Air.
The PM received Chairman of PTT oil and gas group Piyasvasti Amrannand, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amata Corporation Vikrom Kromadit, and executives of Central Group.
The PTT Group Chairman informed the leader of the progress of the US$ 22 billion Nhon Hoi oil refinery project in the central province of Binh Dinh and its intention to buy stakes in oil drilling lots in Vietnam’s continental shelf and develop Phu Cat airport in Binh Dinh up to international standards.
The PM welcomed these proposals and promised all possible assistance to materialise them in Viet Nam soon.
The same day, PM Dung attended a ceremony to inaugurate a President Ho Chi Minh memorial room inside the Vietnamese Embassy. /.
