German ambassador meets PM Prayut

 

   

BANGKOK, 14 May 2019 (NNT) - German Ambassador to Thailand Georg Schmidt has paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha at Government House. Both have agreed to put forward economic cooperation through the Eastern Economic Corridor project as well as cooperation in education, science, technology and innovation.

 

The premier welcomed the new German ambassador to Thailand who is specialized in Asian affairs and could strengthen relations and cooperation between the two countries in the future. The German ambassador expressed congratulations for the coronation ceremonies as well as Thailand’s election and chair of ASEAN for 2019.

 

Both sides agreed to cooperate in the EEC project which was targeted to raise some 15 billion euros in bilateral trade and investment next year. The premier pledged to provide all conveniences for German investors in Thailand since Germany was the prototype and inspiration for Thailand to go for the Industry 4.0 goal.

I'm sure Germany would be thrilled to get some new ideas on those matters from Thailand.....

Through gritted teeth?? Diplomacy at it's finest!!

 

 

With all due respect George gives all the appearance of having spent a few prior hours at the Old German Beerhouse knocking back a few Erdingers.

Getting up the courage to be civil at the meeting of mind?

How lovely. Did Prayuth at least serve tea and scones while crooning a few of his most celebrated tunes to Mr. Schmidt?

 

If I were Germany I'd not want to cooperate too closely with Third World dictatorships, because it looks like kissing a**.

 

If Mr. Prayuth is so keen about "industry 4.0", let him come to Berlin. Only on appointment, please.

I am convinced that Germany will not do anything with Prayuth

Hang your head in shame ambassador

If he is? Prime Minister (which is a civilian position in a civilian government) why is he still wearing his army uniform,or is that a special uniform that Prime Ministers wear complete with full array of medals and wings.?

It's likely a civil service uniform complete with full array of medals and wings.

it's hard to tell the difference between a Thai military uniform and civil service uniform - or is there really a difference?

There is something off about the ambassador's appearance.

Is his top shirt button undone, causing his tie to appear skewed from center?

Ambassadorships are a waste of time in the modern world even Trump has figured that out .

They're just glorified messenger boys even still how could a German lower his colours meeting that  corrupt Asian.

 

how can somebody trust that weasel's face

So he expressed congratulations on a complete sham of an election ????

Germans aren't known for being well dressed. Look at pics showing Merkel.

He is always a smug little Git

So the Germans are now bootlickers too? Did the Ambassador do some goosesteps in front Herr Prayut, with the customary "Heil Prayut"?

See the little dictator is back in uniform again.

Nah, they were just discussing the timetable for the introduction of German as Thailand's second language. English language has proven to be a complete flop over the years so he thinks German may now have more appeal perhaps. ????

Choosing which Ambassador to audience would have been a technical nightmare!

All things being equal... the capability to be standing on the same step! ????

Whilst I admit that he is now oil painting, I wouldn't say that the Ambassador looks like a weasel!
