He said the selection of food and nutrition security as the focus of bilateral cooperation is in line with the aspiration and suits the potentials and strength of both countries.

At the event, Chairwoman of TH Milk Food Joint Stock Company Thai Huong expressed her hope that Deputy Minister Marjolijn Sonnema will introduce potential partners to the TH group.
For her part, Marjolijn Sonnema pledged to help firms of the two countries meet to boost cooperation ties.
