snoop1130 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Commendable strides have been achieved in the first five years of the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi), said Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. He said intense innovation and research activity outlined the success of this endeavour. PM Prayut, alongside Interior Minister, Anupong Paojinda, Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, and Labour Minister, Suchart Chomklin embarked on a trip yesterday, scrutinising the progress of the EECi. Their journey took them to Wangchan Valley, located in the Wang Chan district of Rayong. EECi, a project administered under the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), aims to cultivate an environment conducive to sparking innovations. These innovations are then utilised in ten industries pinpointed at a national level. EECi’s hub is nestled within Wangchan Valley, which consists of an Intelligent Operation Centre (IOC), Innovative Agriculture Smart Greenhouse, and Smart Manufacturing Centre (SMC). The Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (Vistec) also forms part of the Valley. In alignment with the country’s celebration of Industry 4.0, SMC and IOC have been established to primarily target entrepreneurs, developers, researchers, and students. The Thai Prime Minister initiated his visit to these development centres, reported Bangkok Post. The 69 year old prime minister subsequently turned his attention to Vistec to explore its efforts towards environmental conservation, which includes its net zero carbon emissions commitment. This environmental pursuit is in synchrony with the government’s resolution to curtail emissions by an impressive 20%, leveraging a novel national energy strategy to achieve net zero emissions between 2065-2070.

Popular Post observer90210 Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 So what's the new story of the saga ? He is still PM ? not PM ? maybe PM but not so much PM ? ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 He is driving or is that a movie simulator? Anyway, I have been disappointed in the development of the EEC. Some infrastructure improvements, but the whole concept will not take off until the high speed train is completed. Is there any progress on that? Also, zero emissions in 50 years? Good luck, I doubt there will ever be enough money to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) I still can't believe this guy is being called PM. Do the people (or maybe not people) writing 9or generating) these articles not understand he is a caretaker PM albeit for possibly the longest period following any election in the entire world EVER? After an election there is no government only a caretaker government until the next government is formed following the election results or in Thailand's case the votes of 250 junta elected senators being directed by their masters/master.

He is sticking to the wielding power bit. Until the "Prem" slot on the Privy Council is his, expect to see more photos of a dynamic, suspiciously dark haired leader out and about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steering wheel is not on his left it's in front of him so this indicates he supports Move Forward Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
