Srettha confident of future cooperation with Apple, cities CEO’s positive outlook

“I am confident that in addition to Apple, there will be other instances of similarly concrete cooperation [with other corporations],” said the PM, who has branded himself as the country’s “chief salesman”.

Cook became the chief executive officer of Apple Inc in August 2011 following the death of its co-founder Steve Jobs. He had previously served as the company’s chief operating officer.

Meanwhile, government spokesman Chai Wacharonke said Thailand has a strong community of over 30,000 registered Apple iOS app developers.

“Apple is determined to work with the Thai government to bring the skills of Thai app developers to a global level,” he said.

The spokesman also said that Srettha never wastes an opportunity to attract foreign investments to Thailand.

“The prime minister has the vision and strategy to boost international cooperation on trade and investment for the benefit of the Thais. He is good at selling Thailand’s plus points. I can confirm that there are many good opportunities this government is ready to bring to the Thais,” Chai said.
