Somkid leads Thai road-show in China 

 

 

BANGKOK: -- A Thai trade delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak is now on a road-show in China and will be signing an agreement with Alibaba Group to setup an E-Commerce network for the country.

 

The road-show tour from December 7-12 takes the delegation to Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Peking.

 

During the road-show, Dr Somkid said an agreement would be signed with Alibaba Group to develop E-Commerce in Thailand.

 

He stated that Alibaba has agreed to join Thailand in investing in and providing support for the technological developments in the country.

 

This will start at the lowest grassroots level moving upwards to SMEs to support greater involvement in E-Commerce.

 

The final goal will be geared towards providing the country with the necessary tools to compete globally, he said.

There you go on a one upmanship comment. I gave you a like but looking at your like record I am getting jealous. 

Peking? I thought they changed the name to Beijing.

After we get everyone used to ordering everything online what happens to all these huge malls that have been built?

I don't think so, I believe that they are travelling in one of those new Chinese ( sorry I meant Malaysian) buses...

The perfect choice for a roadshow to China.  Not only does he look the part but he also speaks Thai with a heavy Chinese accent.
