The Thai Princess is interested with the lifestyle and culture of the tribes of the region, said the Thai Ambassador adding that people know very little about the rich cultural heritage of India’s northeastern region.
He added that the present trade and business between India and Thailand is going well but it is still under-potential as the estimated trade potential can be US $ 10 billion annually.
Ambassador Gongsakdi informed that 28 big Thai companies are investing in various sectors in India like food, auto parts, computer parts, SME (small-to-medium enterprise) etc.
According to him India’s north-eastern region has a bright future with the coming up of the trilateral highways which shall pave the economic progress of the region beside the huge potential of border trade and tourism and which shall also play important role.
