Thai PM to discuss economic cooperation with South Korean President

The amount of trade discussions held by the Prime Minister with foreign nations since 2014 beggars belief. If trade success was measured by the number of meetings then Thailand would be one of the most economically advanced countries in the world.

When he first appointed himself as PM one of the first things he did was to visit middle eastern countries and most tinpot dictatorships in Africa trying to drum up trade. Of course nothing was ever mentioned of any success. The same always applies with anyone he has trade negotiations with.

Success with anything is not one of his trademarks.

Thought they were meeting at Intercontinental...

I feel so sorry for the south Korean president trying to discuss anything with Prayut yet alone economics.

The reason why the SK President is here is because Thailand is the ASEAN chair and the discussion is for the meeting between ASEAN and SK in Busan next year. The President didn't come because of him.
