Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is preparing to bolster Thailand and Cambodia’s relationship with his upcoming visit tomorrow, as announced by Panpree Bahiddha-Nukara, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.

 

This visit marks Srettha’s first trip to an ASEAN country since his initiation as prime minister, with Cambodia being one of Thailand’s nearest neighbours to strengthen ASEAN ties.

 

Panpree has indicated that Srettha plans to extend his visits to other countries within the regional bloc as part of his strategy to personally introduce himself and reinforce connections.

 

The Foreign Affairs Ministry data reveals a robust bilateral trade scenario between Thailand and Cambodia, exceeding 300 billion baht in the previous year, underscoring the strong ASEAN ties between the two nations.

 

Panpree further addressed the potential prospects of a visit to Saudi Arabia. He stated that the relationship between Thailand and Saudi Arabia has been mended after a prolonged period of over thirty years of strained ties.
