Srettha to Attend Japan Summit

He aims to showcase electric vehicles (EVs) and the land bridge infrastructure project, per government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke.

The Prime Minister's agenda includes bilateral discussions with Japanese leader Kishida Fumio to encourage Japan's involvement in regional economic development and promote peace.

Mr. Srettha will also seek investment for Thailand's land bridge project, the development of the EV sector, and other initiatives to enhance the country's cultural influence.

Mr. Srettha will present investment prospects in Thailand to key Japanese business groups, including Keidanren, JETRO, and industry leaders in automotive, electronics, agricultural machinery, and trade sectors.

With Foreign Affairs Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, Mr. Srettha is set to speak at the Thailand-Japan Investment Forum, which aims to fortify investment ties between the two countries.

In preparation for this trip, the cabinet approved two draft agreements on Tuesday designed to expand cooperation and formulate an action plan to advance a comprehensive strategic partnership with Japan and Asean in trade, peace, and cultural exchange.

The action plan outlines strategies to monitor the progress of these partnerships and provides a framework for regular assessment through the Joint Cooperation Committee and Asean-Japan Forum.

Experts believe that these drafts will bolster relations in security, education, science and technology, supply chains, trade, investment, and food security.

Officials from Thailand's Transport Ministry and Board of Investment (BoI) are part of the delegation. In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) from January to September, investments from Japan were significant, following those from China and Singapore.
