Sansern Kaewkamnerd, the spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Officer, said that the change followed Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak's visit to Japan.
Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said that the three parties would meet on December 14 with the high-level working group and Dawei Development Co Ltd's representatives.
He also said that Japan would review the 138-road linking Thailand and the special economic zone. Italian-Thai Development designed it as a two-lane road.
