BANGKOK - Thai Foreign Ministry urged foreign business representatives to help give respective governments a better understanding of the political developments in Thailand.
Thai ministry's permanent secretary, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, had lunched with representatives of foreign chambers of commerce to ensure them that the junta really cares about foreign trade and investment.
As many have been living and working in Thailand for years, so they understand the situation better than most and could help convey correct information to their countries, he said.
Stanley Kang, chairman of the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand (JFCCT), said there was more stability in the country from the increased rule of law, which helped facilitate investment. The JFCCT is preparing proposals to be presented to the NCPO within the next two weeks, he said.
"The things that the private sector has been giving importance to are Thailand's readiness to enter the Asean Economic Community, because the country has the potential and ability to be one of the leaders in the region. What is needed is the increase of skilled workers that is needed for the expected increase of investment opportunities from the launching of the AEC," he said.
Kang said the private sector had a role to play in terms of creating skilled labour for the country via the promotion of education and vocational studies for workers who lack certain skills that are needed. The JFCCT also welcomed the NCPO policy to legally register unskilled migrant workers.
