BANGKOK (NNT) - The economic impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to be a growing concern around the world, with the Thai Ministry of Commerce setting up an operations center to address the potential trade implications.

 

Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit recently called an urgent virtual meeting with Thailand’s Office of Commercial Affairs in Moscow to assess the repercussions of the conflict as the situation develops.

 

During the meeting, officials discussed the possible effect of sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and European nations, as well as global oil price fluctuations that affect manufacturing and logistics costs.

 

The minister noted that the situation has yet to directly impact Thailand’s imports or exports.

 

Relevant agencies have been tasked with monitoring for any issues requiring immediate action and to make daily situational reports to the minister.

 

The ministry also cautioned that it was too early to make a well-rounded assessment of the situation, and that more information was still needed.

Thailand is heavily invested in Russia, not only with tourism but with products such as oil and Gas.  The pinch will be felt across the board from the Hi-So to the bottom class of workers.

If they don't they'll have serious sanctions brought against them being an MNNA member.

Be nice to see Thailand doing the right thing even if they weren't members.

 

I would like to see them agree to the sanctions but after listening to the news and then some of the people in this Government speak it seems like they are supporting Russia in this conflict, which is just plain sad.

I agree.

 

Fools in Generals outfits.  Never been in battle.

 

Watching Singapore's condemnation of Russia on YouTube.  

Good on them.

 

Russian banks (some) being disconnected from the Swift banking system is big blow.

 

Will see what lies ahead this week.  So much to digest during a damned pandemic.

And what was the reason he got transferred?

So much lack of essential information in this article but enough to feel blessed that my mother's womb was not in this country when I crawled out ...

Crazy!

 

So having an elected government overthrown and ruled by junta is better.

 

Ridiculous!
