India’s Ambassador to Thailand, Puneet Agrawal, engaged in discussions with Urasa Mongkolnavin, Director-General of the Department of South Asian, Middle East, and African Affairs at Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They exchanged views on various mutual interest issues such as high-level visits, trade, investment, people-to-people connections, public health, and traditional medicine to enhance the Strategic Partnership between the two nations.
The bilateral ties between India and Thailand were elevated to a Strategic Partnership in April last year during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bangkok. Ambassador Agrawal also met with Thailand Trade Representative Chutintorn Gongsakdi at the Government House to focus on strengthening trade and investment ties by identifying areas of complementarities and resolving trade barriers for mutual benefit.
Furthermore, discussions between Agrawal and Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, aimed at deepening the strategic partnership through enhanced bilateral trade and investment ties, cultural exchanges, connectivity initiatives, and regional issue coordination.
Prime Minister Modi congratulated Anutin Charnvirakul on his election as Thailand’s Prime Minister, expressing eagerness to collaborate closely. The ties between India and Thailand, rooted in shared heritage and cultural connections, encompass various sectors like trade, defense, connectivity, culture, education, and people-to-people exchanges, reflecting a strong and multifaceted relationship.
