Prime Minister courts New Zealand investors to develop Thailand, focusing on tourism and fruit exports
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul held discussions with senior executives from leading New Zealand companies, namely Skyline Enterprises and T&G Global, to strengthen economic cooperation and investment between the two countries.
In these discussions, the Thai government focused on attracting investors in the tourism and logistics sectors, which are key industries that Thailand aims to elevate to international standards. It is believed that the experience and expertise of New Zealand companies will help develop Thailand's infrastructure and tourism services to achieve further growth.
Beyond tourism, the government is also prioritizing the expansion of the agricultural market, particularly for Thai fruit, which is high-quality and in demand globally. Collaborating with T&G Global, which possesses expertise in global fruit distribution, will be a significant opportunity to open channels for increased exports of Thai fruit to international markets.
These negotiations mark a major step in strengthening trade relations between Thailand and New Zealand, which will not only help generate revenue for the country but also create jobs and develop skills for the Thai workforce in related industries.
The Thai government reaffirms that it will continue to support and facilitate foreign investors who wish to conduct business in Thailand, in order to drive the country's economy toward stable and sustainable growth in the future.
