Through two memos of knowing, Thailand and Bhutan have pledged to intensify participation in the fields of hospitality, education, and solar energy.
On Wednesday, Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, and his rival Dasho Tshering Tobgay, the country’s Dasho Tshering Tobgay, witnessed the filing meeting of the contracts at Government House.
One of the agreements, which involved hospitality, included scientific cooperation and university trade between the Thai Ministry of Public Health and Bhutan’s Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences.
Mr. Srettha, a spokeswoman for the government, quoted by Chai Wacharonke as saying it was a great honor to meet him on his formal visit, which also coincides with the 35th anniversary of Thai-Bangladesh diplomatic relations.
The two memoranda of understanding may encourage scientific change and participation in health education, he said.
Mr. Chai claimed that both prime ministers had extensive discussions on a range of topics, including business, and that they had come to an agreement to speed up negotiations for a free trade agreement in order to strengthen diplomatic ties.
Both countries want to increase trade with a targeted annual value of US$ 120 million ( 4.4 billion baht ), compared with$ 18.7 million in 2023, which will benefit both Thai and Bhutanese businesses, he said.
Mr. Chai claimed that Mr. Srettha was eager to learn more about Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City ( GMC). Thailand is interested in learning about potential expense in the job.
He claimed that the two nations ‘ rich cultural heritage and various organic beauty would be the focus of hospitality assistance.
Thailand and Bhutan are committed to facilitating scholar and educational exchanges, which will foster mutual understanding and foster lasting connections between younger years, he said, in terms of education and technical assistance.
Solar power is another important area where the two countries can work together, he said, adding that by sharing experience, both may expand efforts to achieve power security, such as through hydropower.
In terms of regional cooperation, Mr. Chai said both Bhutan and Thailand both recognize the value of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for multi-sectoral technical and economic cooperation ( Bimstec), particularly in terms of trade and connectivity.
Mr. Srettha has extended his invitation to his rival in Bhutan to travel to Thailand for the Bimstec Summit in September.
Mr. Tobgay accepted the invitation and made contact with Mr. Srettha to travel to Bhutan as soon as possible.
