Premier Cho Jung-tai received a delegation of advisers to the Taiwan-Thailand parliamentary friendship group March 30 in Taipei City, pledging to strengthen bilateral democratic supply chain cooperation.
Cho called Thailand, one of the country’s targeted by Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, an important partner and thanked Taiwanese expatriates in Thailand for their efforts to promote bilateral exchanges and cooperation.
The premier praised the work by Samut Prakarn-based Taiwan Association of Thailand to cultivate new talent over the last eight decades, as well as applauding New Taipei City-headquartered Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co.’s cooperation with Thai businesses to improve the country’s smart transportation by jointly managing the M81 motorway in western Thailand. Cho went on to introduce President Lai Ching-te’s 13 national strategic industries initiative, which includes R&D on silicon photonics, quantum technologies, artificial intelligence robots and unmanned vehicles, as well as the establishment of high-speed computing centers.
Taiwanese youths are visiting Thailand to learn agriculture and art under the Taiwan Global Pathfinders Initiative, Cho said, adding that bilateral trade reached NT$19.4 billion (US$604 million) last year, a year-on-year increase of 7.31 percent. The government is committed to expanding the relationship between the two countries, he said, adding that the government will deepen cooperation with expatriates through avenues including the Overseas Community Affairs Council.
