Possible areas of cooperation and business prospects between India and Thailand were discussed at an interactive session between the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Thailand – India Parliamentarians Friendship Group.
Krich Attitkaew, president of the Thailand-India Parliamentarians Friendship Group, said Indian students can study in Thailand with scholarship.
He invited business people from Kerala to Thailand to understand the culture and traditions of that country. He said that Thailand is seeking cooperation with Kerala in education and tourism areas.
There is scope for business cooperation with India and Thailand in areas of chemical industry, seafood products, machine parts, gems and jewellery, education, tourism, food and edible items and logistics, said Nitipoom Navaratna, vice-president of the Thailand-India Parliamentarians Friendship Group.
India and Thailand have enjoyed a close and mutually enriching relationship for over a millennium and the friendship is growing even today, K.N. Marzook, chairman, KCCI, said.
A total of 250,000 Indians live in Thailand contributing to the growth of the Thai economy. It is heartening to learn that India and Thailand would work together to double the bilateral trade to around $14 billion by 2014, he added.
Pusadee Tamthai, Prasongsak Boondej and Somchat Panapat, executive committee members of Thailand-India Parliamentarians Friendship Group, and Deepak L. Aswani, director, KCCI, also addressed the gathering.
