Thailand wants Hong Kong business operators to use Thailand as their trade and investment centre in the Southeast Asian region and to support Thailand’s efforts to develop its soft power in food, services, rice and fruits, Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said today.

 

Phumtham is leading a delegation to Hong Kong, comprised of representatives from 27 Thai companies, to participate in the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART), which is Asia’s biggest film industry business event.

 

During the visit, Phumtham met with Algernon Yau, Minister of Commerce and Economic Development of Hong Kong, to discuss bilateral trade relations, promotion of Thai small- and medium-sized enterprises and increased access to the Hong Kong market for Thai products, as well as increased investment in Thailand by Hong Kong investors.

Wait, what?

 

Thailand wants Asia's top (or sometimes ranked next behind Singapore) trade and investment center to use Thailand as their trade and investment center?

 

Because soft fruit empowerment?

 

That don't make any sense.

Funny that. HK used to be the kind of hub Thais can only dream of. Somewhat diminished now since the CCP crackdown of the last few years ...

Somebody please tell the PM just who does own Hong Kong.
