BANGKOK : -- Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha lauded Japanese investors for their strong confidence in the country's investment environment and for not relocating to other countries when Thailand faces its hard time.
Gen Prayuth made known of his
gratitude to strong partnership with Japan when he met a major Japanese
private firm to discuss the investment situation.
The top executives of Nidec
Corporation, a Japanese electronic parts producer based in Thailand,
paid a call on Gen Prayuth Thursday for a talk on investment.
The group was led by the company’s
chairman and CEO Shigenobu Nagamori, who also serves as an honorary
investment advisor to the Board of Investment of Thailand.
At the meeting, Gen Prayuth thanked
the Japanese business operators for giving importance to their
investments in Thailand and for maintaining the two nations’ close ties
and long-standing friendship.
When Thailand was going through
hard times, he recalled Japan was one of the countries that insisted on
not moving their production bases elsewhere, he said.
Gen Prayuth asked the visiting executives to allow some time for his government to develop and reform itself.
He assured them that various investment promotion measures were being adopted so as to regain their confidence.
Gen Prayuth also acknowledged
suggestions, ranging from the adjustment of certain regulations that
tend to cause business difficulties to the tackling of labor shortage
and the issuance of proper work permits for foreign workers.
He assured that these suggestions
would be used to improve the business atmosphere in the country in
order to attract more investments in the future.
