Thailand and Ireland agreed to boost bilateral trade and cooperation as they are going to celebrate their 40-year-long relationship.
Foreign Minister Gen Tanasak Patimapragorn discussed the matter with new Irish Ambassador to Thailand Brendan Rogers on Wednesday. The two countries are this year celebrating the 40th anniversary of their diplomatic relations.
At the meeting, Tanasak and the Irish ambassador discussed ways to increase the value of bilateral trade from US$ 810m currently, in which Thailand enjoyed a surplus.
Tanasak also praised Ireland for its exemplary success in the adjustment of economic structure, educational development and the establishment of hospitable environment for investment, resulting in a 4.8 per cent growth in economy in 2014.
