HANOI (Reuter): Thailand and Vietnam prepared to strengthen
military and other relations yesterday in talks between their
defense ministers in Hanoi.

Thai Defense Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh arrived in Hanoi
and was due to hold talks with Vietnamese counterpart Doan Khue.
Apart from defense issues, Chavalit would discuss fisheries
cooperation, trade and investment and military ties between the
two former adversaries, the Thai embassy said.
