In order to identify plans to strengthen the province’s market and the northern region, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin says he will keep his second mobile cabinet meeting in Nong Bua Lam Phu state in November.
He said he chose Nong Bua Lam Phu after conducting an assessment excursion to the area while speaking at the Customs Office in Nongg Khai on Saturday near the border with Laos.
He claimed that the government meeting would help to clarify problems that local residents are dealing with, such as lower incomes, drugs, and drought.
Mr. Srettha visited Khon Kaen and Udon Thani on Friday before traveling to Nong Khai. He claimed that because those two provinces are close to Laos, which boasts a high-speed rail connection with China, and have airports to offer tourism, they have the potential to expand their economies even further.
A double-track rail line connecting Khon Kaen and Nong Khai is one of the topics Mr. Srettha predicted would be discussed at the upcoming cabinet meeting given the prepared development budget.
This is regarded as an essential matter. The trail does not cost a lot of money, but it will bring in significant profits, he said. At the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connecting Nong Khai and Vientiane in Laos, it must be constructed concurrently with a loading train.
In order for the local trade industry to meet the demand for products to become shipped to Laos and China, he claimed that numerous federal authorities have been working together to improve services.
The Prime Minister is anticipated to return to the Northeast at the end of next month to continue the infrastructure project after successful previous global business negotiations.
Business leaders in Nong Khai expressed their desire for a gate to be finished by 2029 to connect the city to Vientiane. Additionally, they want to construct a traders’ enterprise center.
In order to enhance labor skills in the Northeast and push for more pro-Nong Khai monetary policies, they claimed that the government should also help Khon Kaen University’s plan to open a school for high-speed railway engineering.
