Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, announced yesterday that a subcommittee would be formed to promote the Eastern Economic Corridor( EEC ) among foreign investors.
He claimed that the call occurred while he was on a portable meeting on special train No. 995. He left Hua Lumphong’s Bangkok Station at 8.30 a.m. yesterday to visit Laem Chabang Station in the Sri Racha neighborhood of Chon Buri and conduct an EEC study.
He was given a statement on EEC-area infrastructure development initiatives that aim to ease traffic congestion. Buyers required these, he said, so they could continue.
All infrastructure and facilities, including water and electricity flowers, transportation centers like ports and airports, must be in place because the EEC attracts foreign investors.
He said,” We need to investigate whether there is any problem that foreign investors will encounter if they want to invest in EEC.”
” In the interim, we also want to continue promoting the jobs because they can strengthen the economy.”
The top finally suggested creating a sub-committee to further encourage the projects and attract foreign investors. Additionally, he claimed, it will reduce issues with documents that might prevent investments.
Part of the concept is to improve other advantages, such as tax-free steps. He stated that in order to convince buyers that the EEC is a region with great potential, we had to inspire as many foreign assets as possible by enhancing the city’s system.
Mr. Srettha visited the Nong Phlalai Reservoir in Rayong’s Pluak Daeng city after arriving at the Laem Chabang train depot. He then went to the Sri Racha city of Chon Buri.
Mr. Srettha was given a statement on the port at Laem Chabang Seaport.
Laem Chabang Port has served 11, 700 cargo ship rides since the beginning of this year, with a total of 94.1 million metric tonnes of goods, or 8.67 million Twenty-Face Equivalent Units( TEU ), according to government spokesman Chai Wacharonke.
The interface is currently going through a second period of expansion, which, when finished in 2029, aims to manage up to 18 billion TEU.
