PM thanks Japanese private sector for its faith

The Nation/Agencies

TOKYO: -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said yesterday that she was grateful to the Japanese private sector for maintaining confidence in Thailand and her government despite last year's flood crisis.

In a speech delivered to the Japanese Business Federation Keidanren and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Yingluck urged investors to consider investing in infrastructure in the Mekong basin.

Yingluck is in Japan for the Japan-Mekong Summit, which began on Thursday and will wrap up today. The summit is being held to discuss Japan-initiated development schemes for countries in the Mekong basin.

The premier praised the Japan-Mekong cooperation, saying the new master plan to be endorsed today would benefit people in the Mekong basin and urged the private sector to invest in the scheme.

She added that Japanese investors would play a crucial role in the development of the Mekong basin as well as the region's relations with Japan.

Yingluck explained that several plans were underway to fix the damages sustained by last year's flood crisis and thanked the Japanese private sector for helping her government restore and rehabilitate the country quickly.

After her luncheon speech, Yingluck accompanied other leaders from Mekong countries, including Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Lao premier Thongsing Tham-mavong, Myanmar President Thein Sein and Vietnamese premier Nguyen Tan Dung to an audience with Japanese Emperor Akihito yesterday.

This was the fourth Japan-Mekong Summit held in Tokyo to discuss cooperation in the development of the Mekong region. During the latest summit, the leaders are scheduled to issue a "Tokyo Strategy 2012 for Mekong-Japan Cooperation" as well as adopt concrete actions and measures over the next three years.

The previous three-year action plan was adopted in the first summit in 2009, when Japan pledged 500 billion yen (Bt189 billion) in official aid to Mekong nations from the fiscal year of 2010 with a 63-point action plan.

The new action plan would be in the context of regional integration as Asean forms an economic community by 2015.

I luv ASEAN. A clone puppet meeting with a tyrannical despot, a one-party Communist leader, a military strongman, and another one-party Communist leader to have an audience with a monarch.

Can't believe you actually took time out of your day to search for an unflattering picture of the PM. However, if that amuses you... each to his own, I suppose.

Arrr, got a bit of a crush have we?

Just wondering when in the not too distant future an extra kilo or two will be added to keep up with the family trend. If any good came out of the Asian, and no doubt it will have done, that is what these get "togethers" are for. Adding and not forgetting that Yingluck is getting big money, just to run the job. So there are no big cheers---only when you do it for free the biggest cheers come. The FAMILY do not NEVER do anything for free.

Good to see the Indochina leaders going cap in hand to the Japanese for more handouts.

It's ok. I think it's charming that he does as I understand that some might think the 44 year-old mother looks exceptionally attractive.

I also understand that cosmetics today can do miracles, but that without them, the reality is exposed.

Lastly, I understand that some posters make think it takes a long time to find things on the forum. It doesn't.

So does your obsession for the beautiful 40+ mother and her exemplary work, Ha Ha, you fail miserably for being ONE WAY thinking of a said cr#p failed promises government. Here in Issan if you got out more and not read too much, you will find the mood is changing, failed promises are NOT going down very well with the rural folk, Ask the uni lads and lasses--the farmers--the taxi people--the car buyers--the 1st time home owners--the housewives--shopping is now a headache, Please pray tell us of all the wonders of government decisions.  On topic Yingluck should have said SORRY for trashing your factories, it wouldn't have been half so bad had my water chief hadn't make a cock -up with the level of the dams just prior to the rains. we will have extra pumps in place this year I promise.

A few back and forth bickering, off topic posts have been removed from view. Keep it civil.
