Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said Wednesday that the Srettha government is committed to pursuing economic diplomacy that will enhance Thailand’s bargaining power and create equilibrium in its relationship with other countries.

 

It will also help with economic diversification through greater support for the green economy, digitalization and sustainable agriculture to create new job opportunities, he said.

Parnpree said for the economic diplomacy to be effective, Thailand not only needs to continue its close relationship with its traditional economic and trading partners like the US, China, Japan and India. He said Thailand also needs to intensify the ties it has with other economic partners, including South Korea, ASEAN, Australia, EU, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Turkey.

 

However, he also emphasized that Thailand’s neighbours are still its priority, pointing out the recent visit to Cambodia by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin during which comprehensive bilateral cooperation was discussed.
