During the forthcoming visit of the Prime Minister of Thailand to India several MoUs will be signed, including Free trade Agreement (FTA). With the completion of Asian Highway road link to between the two countries via Myanmar, the volume of bilateral trade is also likely to increase manifold as businesses will not have to depend on ports as trade will be conducted through trucks as well. An agreement in this regard will also be signed soon between the governments of the two nations.”

“Make in India policy of Prime Minister of India is very popular with the business community of Thailand and will encourage more companies from Thailand to invest in India. We see a lot of business potential in Northern India. The reason for choosing Chandigarh is that we think Chandigarh is the Gateway to North India and is the smartest city. North India also has the most vibrant and thriving business community,” he added.

Addressing medipaersons, Dr Dinesh Dua, Chairman, CII Chandigarh Council and CEO and Director, Nectar Lifesciences Ltd, said “In the current scenario of emerging global economic situation, where Asia Pacific region is acquiring increasingly important significance with its fast economic growth, intra-regional cooperation has gained further importance and needs to be looked upon with newer perspectives. The fast growing Indian market remains attractive for Thai investors, given the vast opportunities available in infrastructure sector, tourism and retail industries. India continues to remain an interesting market for export of goods from Thailand. Currently, Thai goods have benefited from tax reduction under ASEAN-India FTA in Goods, which came into effect from 01 January, 2010 and resulted to the flow of more goods into Indian market.”

India’s Look East policy from 1993 and Thailand’s Look West policy since 1996 set the stage for a substantive consolidation of bilateral relations. The past few years since 2001 have witnessed growing warmth, increasing economic and commercial links, exchange of high-level visits on both sides, and the signing of a large number of Agreements leading to a further intensification of relations.”
