STOCKHOLM, March 5 – Thailand and Sweden has signed an agreement which will contribute to bilateral law enforcement against organised and severe crimes, drug and human trafficking and terrorism.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her Swedish counterpart Fredrik Reinfeldt witnessed the official endorsement of the Law Enforcement Cooperation Agreement during the former’s visit to the Nordic country.

The major objective of Ms Yingluck’s visit is to enhance cooperation with the Swedish administration and the private sector on economic activities, investment, medical service and tourism. The Thai premier is accompanied by more than 40 Thai businessmen.

In the separate signing of the 2nd Thai-Swedish Joint Plan Action between leaders of the two countries, Ms Yingluck said Thailand proposed to host the first meeting as a followup of the joint plan to seek closer cooperation with Swedish specialists in science, technology, innovation, alternative energy and environment.

She said Thailand is keen on promoting the kingdom as a travel destination, including medical tourism, to the Nordic country which sends 350,000 people to visit Thailand annually.

Ah it was the entourage and Ms Yingluck who travelled. I would have thought there was not much terrorist activities in Sweden but I guess tourism is a big deal. Either way she got in the shopping trip as well as taking the friends of the clan. Perks of the job I guess. I wonder if they were accompanied by any spouses or siblings?

Now you are Reasonably unreasonable!

i dont understand why any western countries are still willing to have trade agreements with a country that continually lets its population rob steal and cheat western businsses year in year out,..........i know i would never again consider investing in a country that only takes and gives nothing in return .,and even encourages these actions . not a country open for investment imo

who in their right mind would trust a thai where business is concerned ? , i know i would'nt risk it again, once bitten !

I just knew those Nordic people didn't come here voluntarily, their countries sent them!
