Thai-Lao companies to establish a factory producing hydraulic machinery in Vientiane

CHON BURI, 21 June 2013 (NNT) -- Thailand's leading hydraulic component producer, T.M.C. Industry Public Company Limited has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Laos’ top construction firm, SV Construction Company Limited, under which both sides will jointly establish a factory producing hydraulic machinery in Vientiane.

The signing ceremony was conducted at the Graduate School of Commerce, Burapha Unitersity, and was witnessed by Dean of the Graduate School of Commerce Assistant Professor Dr. Banpot Wiroonrat, and Attache on business economic affairs to the Lao Embassy in Thailand, Somjai Intapatta.

A representative of the Thai company said that the joint investment involves the construction of a 5.72 million baht factory that will assemble and provide various services related to industrial hydraulic parts. The factory will also provide other services such as gas and electronics lathing, construction materials and tools business.

The T.M.C. representative expressed his belief that the signing of the MOU was made at an opportune time when Laos is developing its infrastructure to cope with economic expansion under the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

Thailand deports suspected drug trafficker to Myanmar

BANGKOK: -- Thai authorities, in a rare show of cross-borderpolice cooperation, on Friday deported a suspected methamphetamine trafficker to Myanmar, where he faces an arrest warrant.

Shwe Nu, 46, was arrested in Bangkok on June 2, at the request of Myanmar anti-narcotics police who issued a warrant for his arrest last year after they discovered 171,000 methamphetamine pills in his home in Myanmar’s Shan State.

"Shwe Nu is believed to be a major supplier of methamphetamine pills to Myanmar labourers working in Thailand," said Police General Phongsaphat Phongcharoen, head of Thailand’s Office of the Narcotics Control Board.

Immigration records showed Shwe Nu had entered Thailand by aeroplane 19 times in recent years.

Although Shwe Nu faces criminal charges in Thailand, Thai police agreed to send him back to Myanmar to face charges there first.

"If he gets 20 years in jail, we will ask to have him back to face another sentence here," Phongsaphat said. "If he gets life, we’ll forget about it."
