According to Digital Economy and Society ( DES ) Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong on Tuesday, the ongoing construction of the Sino-Thai high-speed rail ( HSR ) link will be on the agenda of a mobile cabinet meeting that will be held in Nakhon Ratchasima next week.
The design of the 250.77 kilometer high-speed rail connection between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima is anticipated to be finished by 2028.
At present, the second phase of the project, which costs about 179.41 billion rmb, is under construction.
Other topics on the agenda of the meeting include the building of the double-track rail improvements between the two cities and the project to improve Nakhon Ratchasima airport in an effort to make it a hub for the Northeast, he said.
These tasks will help uplift Nakhon Ratchasima’s picture as a target for foreign events, meetings and summits, Mr Prasert said. He expressed his hope that the state would number more well-known events, like the future 2029 International Horticultural Expo.
On the first day of the cellular government meeting, Mr. Prasert stated that the ministry does offer “digital volunteers.”
These volunteers, he said, will be an essential part of the president’s efforts to increase Thai citizens ‘ modern consciousness and literacy.
Separately, Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University’s ( NRRU) local soft power development committee organised a meeting to identify the province’s soft power potential.
Expert artist Samart Jubjon from the NRRU, Samart Jubjon, claimed that the meeting brought together professionals from all 32 provinces.
Tuesday’s gathering was meant to collect their suggestions on what elements of the country’s identity and/or culture may be incorporated into future special events, he said.
The council will make a list available to the state during the mobile cabinet meeting next week.
