The Interior Ministry has stated that it will not construct a river that could compromise national security and has expressed assistance for the nation’s Land Bridge venture.
Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul claimed the project was started by the previous administration during a presentation yesterday. He added that the current administration does support the project and that it must act immediately.
Two deep-sea ports may be built as part of the job, one on the Andaman beach in Ranong and the other by the Gulf of Thailand along the Chumphon coast.
He continued,” They will be connected by a road and rail link that will have both high-speed and double-track railways.”
We have thoroughly researched the job, and Mr. Anutin stated that it will be advantageous to the nation.
He continued by saying that dredging a river that” splits the state in two” won’t affect national security is unnecessary.
Since the past administration, I have pushed for the job, and I keep my promise that the land bridge will strengthen the nation’s fundamental economic system, according to Mr. Anutin.
He continued,” I am sure the job will also help the Asian region, which will dominate the global market in the next ten years.”
According to Bhumjaithai MP Kongkrit Chatmaleerat for Ranong, the government on Monday acknowledged in theory that the task may charge 228 billion baht.
The land bridge project, which is a component of the Southern Economic Corridor( SEC ) scheme, is supported by all Bhumjaithai MPs as well as the residents of Ranong and Chumphon, he said.
To entice foreign investment, the Transport Ministry does host a fair abroad from November to January, he said.
Additionally, the government intends to draft a Southern Economic Corridor legislation the following year. By December of next year, he said, plan committees and an SEC coverage office would be established.
The private sector’s joint venture bidding will start around April and June 2025, and the property eviction plan will be released by January 2026. Around July or August 2025, a contract may become submitted to the government.
The property bridge’s structure is anticipated to start in September 2025 and be completed by September 2030 before being fully launched in October.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin invited owners from China and other nations to participate in the job on the final day of his visit to China monday.
