Thanakorn said the visit, Phankham’s first as prime minister of Laos, provides a major opportunity for the two nations to forge closer ties amid the post-pandemic economic recovery.

 

The two leaders are expected to discuss a strategic partnership for growth and sustainable development, trade and investment promotion, as well as the facilitation of cross-border travel and transportation.
