Thailand and Myanmar are set to double bilateral trade to between Bt350 billion and Bt420 billion within two years, while also promoting cross-border trade to Bt300 billion, under closer cooperation through the Joint Trade Commission (JTC) and Asean integ
Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn said Wednesday that the countries would strengthen ties in trade, investment and other forms of cooperation, which should help promote trade and investment growth between the two neighbours.
The proposals for enhanced cooperation will be discussed during the upcoming seventh meeting of the JTC, to be held in Nay Pyi Taw from January 14-15.
Apiradi will lead the Thai delegation, while Myanmar’s trade minister will chair the meeting.
