The twocountries can become partners in producing electronic and refrigerating equipmentas their respective advantages can support each other, he said, elaboratingthat Vietnam has certain strengths in producing solid-state drives for refrigerators,TVs and air conditioners. Meanwhile, Thailand is regarded as one of the world’smanufacturing hubs with a number of famous electronics and refrigerationbrands.
The official notedstronger bilateral cooperation can help the two countries increase trade,pointing out the fact that Vietnam is importing a relatively large number ofelectronic equipment from Thailand. However, the import is mainly conductedthrough a third party, pushing up prices when the products are sold in Vietnam.
