Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday invited the US private sector to invest more in Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).

 

The premier met with representatives of 28 companies under the US-Asean Business Council (USABC) at the Foreign Affairs Ministry. He also also spoke to another 11 USABC members via video, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri.

 

Prayut hailed the EEC as a key engine driving the Thai economy.

 

He also told US company representatives that the government was focusing on boosting public health security and economic recovery from the impact of Covid-19.

 

The council's president, Alexander C Feldman, praised the government for its effective control of the outbreak, which he said was helping to support a favourable investment climate.

Key engine for military rule over the country.   Make up your own mind where to invest, not where some tinpot tells you to.

Maybe after losing Airbus in the U Tapoa deal, Prayut is trying to lure some other large Aircraft Companies to the EEC.

Companies around the World are waiting for some of the Covid flack to settle before making any Investments.

Covid has given many of them a good chance to look at their Business Strategies, and for sure there are going to be some huge swings in Geographical investment to come from these Companies. 

He pointed out we have already imported a large number of shipping containers and placed them around Bangkok in readiness for fast exports????  

No 'Hybrid War'??
