centre in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) area.
According to Ralph
Boyce, president of Boeing Southeast Asia, who met Deputy Prime Minister Somkid
Jatusripitak yesterday, the company is preparing an EEC investment plan, with a
final decision to be reached soon.
Mr Boyce served as the

The area is meant to be
Thailand's new growth engine through 10 targeted industries: next-generation

and biotechnology; food; robotics for industry; logistics and aviation;

"It's now an
appropriate time for Boeing to invest in the EEC," Mr Boyce said. "If
we don't make a decision now, this opportunity will fly."
