Cabinet green lights rail-track development institute
The Cabinet on Monday approved in principle the establishment of an institute for research and development of railway track systems, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri.
The institute will be set up as a public organisation under the Transport Ministry.
It will determine strategy and propose policies for development of rail track systems, and set directions for R&D, human resource development and technology transfer.
The aim was to reduce Thailand’s reliance on foreign technology, said the spokesman.
