BANGKOK, 31 July 2010 (NNT) — Deputy Commerce Minister, Alongkorn Ponlaboot is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia on 1-4 August to meet Saudi high ranking representatives from both private and public sectors to discuss the promotion of trade and investment ties.
The visit has been planned in a bid to strengthen bilateral relations and increase trade value particularly the value of sugar and food import based on the international standards.
Speaking upon his visit on Friday to monitor trade movements along the Thai-Cambodian border, Mr Alongkorn found the situation normal. Traders were able to sell their products freely as there were no reports of border closure, while product orders also remained high.
Despite the closure of the Thai-Myanmar border, Mr Alongkorn believes that the border gate should be reopened by next week following his two-time meeting with his Myanmar counterpart to negotiate the issue of the disputed construction of a river dyke along the Moei River.
