Commerce Min: US-North Korea meeting boosts world economy

The Ministry of Commerce believes the historic summit between leaders of the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will spur global economic growth.

Pimchanok Vonkorpon, the Director-General of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office of the Commerce Ministry, said the meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un which was held in Singapore this month sent a positive vibe around the globe as world leaders have come out to welcome and praise the initiative.

Pimchanok added that the unprecedented talks with declarations of a new friendship and pledges of nuclear disarmament have eased tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and will result in global economic stability in the long run.

In 2017, two-way trade between Thailand and North Korea was valued at less than 2.38 million dollars, accounting for 0.0005% of Thailand’s overseas trade.

After his meeting with Chairman Kim, PresidentTrump remarked that Pyongyang no longer posed a nuclear threat.
