The Italian Ambassador to Thailand, Francesco Saverio Nisio, paid a courtesy call on the Prime Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, at Government House, Bangkok, on Wednesday (June 6th).
Gen. Prayut thanked the Italian Ambassador for his role in continuously reinforcing mutual relations and cooperation. Both parties congratulated cordial relations and friendship between the two countries, as this year marks the 150th anniversary of diplomatic ties. A total of 69 events and activities have been planned throughout this year to celebrate the auspicious occasion.
According to the Prime Minister, after the European Union's (EU) decision to resume political contact at all levels with Thailand, Italy was the first EU country to make a high-level visit to the kingdom, which has led to the official visit of the Thai Foreign Affairs Minister, Don Pramudwinai. The gestures reflect the intent of both nations to strengthen mutual relations at all levels and in all dimensions.
With regard to economic relations, the Prime Minister commended the Ambassador's role in pushing forward establishment of the Thai-Italian Business Council as a channel for creating business network and promoting mutual trade and investment. Roadshows are also planned to further strengthen trade and investment relations.
The diplomat said a number of Italian businessmen have expressed interest in investing in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), and a group of Italian investors will be brought to visit the region next year to explore investment opportunities. The EEC covers three provinces of the country's eastern area, namely Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong.
On tourism, both parties congratulated each other on becoming world's major tourist destinations. The two countries could share experiences and promote tourism cooperation in various aspects for mutual interests.
The Prime Minister also mentioned the 8th Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS), which will be hosted by Thailand during on June 15th and 16th, 2018, and extended an invitation for Italy to take part in ACMECS as a development partner to further strengthen relations at both bilateral and multilateral levels for tangible results and future accomplishment.
