Thailand and Cambodia to boost bilateral trade

Thailand’s commitment to deepen ties with Cambodia has been firmly established, with both nations aiming to boost bilateral trade volume to US$15 billion (approximately 551 billion baht) by 2025. This was confirmed by government spokesman, Chai Wacharonke, following a significant meeting between Thailand’s Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, and his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Manet.

The meeting, which took place in Phnom Penh, was part of Srettha’s first official visit to Cambodia. Intended to strengthen leader-to-leader relations, the visit forms part of the PM’s introductory tour of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Interestingly, both Srettha and Manet assumed their prime ministerial roles on the same day, August 22, a fact that served to cement their shared goals and similar leadership directions.
