BANGKOK, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- Thailand now appears to
become a regional investment hub for Japan's Connected Industries Policy,
thanks to a successful event, "Thailand 4.0 toward Connected
Industries", organised here from Sept 11-13, Thai News Agency (TNA)
reported.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak, who oversees
economic affairs, told journalists of the positive prospect, as Japanese
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) Hiroshige Seko has led a large
delegation of over 600 Japanese investors and members of their several business
networks to participate in the three-day grand event, marking the 130th
anniversary of Japan-Thailand diplomatic relations.
Expressing his satisfaction with the success of the
event, Somkid said that the event helps boost confidence in expanding
investment in the Thai economy among the Japanese business operators.
Somkid acknowledged that the participating Japanese
delegates now apparently eye Thailand as a regional investment hub based on
Japan's Connected Industries Policy, under which business networks connect with
each other through shared information for analytical discussions and solutions
to problems probably emerging in their production chains.
The deputy premier pointed out that the positive prospect
from the Japanese side is a good sign for the Thai investment, as Japanese
investors carefully consider their relocation sites and Thailand is the best
choice for them in the ASEAN Community (AC).
The deputy premier explained that Thailand has
implemented a national reform towards a new general election in the near future
and is eyeing new advanced investment projects to comply with the government's
Thailand 4.0 Policy, which is also in line with Japan's "Connected
Industries" Policy.
Besides, the Thai government is implementing a new
20-year national strategy, covering the development of the Eastern Economic
Corridor (EEC) and labour quality in all areas through shared information and
technological transfer from international experts.
The deputy prime minister stressed on Thailand's
neutrality and fair treatment to international investors who relocate their
production and service bases to the Thai economy.
