FTA talks with EU to get reboot
Thailand is gearing up for the resumption of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with the European Union (EU) after the talks were suspended in 2014 due to the coup. The talks should be completed in in 2025, said Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.
Mr Phumtham said on Saturday he had discussed the matter with 39 representatives of the EU-Asean Business Council (EU-ABC) and the European Association for Business and Commerce (EABC) at the ministry. Attendees represented 24 European-based companies with production based in Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia, including Airbus, Standard Chartered Plc, Michelin, DHL, and Prudential Financial Inc.
