Thailand shipped the first consignment of chicken products to Saudi Arabia in 18 years on Monday, as diplomatic relations between the two countries are gradually restored following three decades of suspension of formal ties.

 

The shipment, by Charoen Pokphand Foods Plc, took place two weeks after Saudi Arabia lifted an 18-year ban on Thai chicken and egg imports.

 

A launch ceremony was held at CP Foods’ Min Buri Chicken Processing Plant 2. The event was attended by Thai Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit and other senior commerce officials, Secretary-General of Central Islamic Council of Thailand Pol. Maj-Gen Surin Palarae, and executives of CP Foods.

Just hope it is not that H5N1 shipment which Thaksin had sent in payment for some aircraft in Toulouse and, upon arrival inspection, the poultry was returned to sender.
