Thailand PM hails govt's efforts to resolve conflict

Prime Minister of Thailand General Surayud Chulanont appreciated the efforts being taken by the Government to find a political settlement to the conflict. Thailand expressed its strong support for Sri Lanka's sovereignty and territorial integrity during a meeting with Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake who is now in Thailand. Both sides agreed to further intensify efforts to curb terrorist activities in the region.

Both leaders agreed to expedite the signing of the bilateraly Preferential Trading Arrangement (PTA). They exchanged views on ways and means to increase bilateral trade in potential areas of mutual interest and benefits, inter alia, exchanging high-level trade delegations, organising business seminars and exhibitions.

To this end, they encouraged concerned authorities, including private sectors, to take concrete steps for the early implementation. On investment, they encouraged both private sectors to further explore investment opportunities in potential sectors, inter-alia fishery and infrastructure.

They noted with appreciation the results of the first session of the Joint Agriculture Working Group in Peradeniya in October 2006, Consultations between the Boards of Investments of Sri Lanka and Thailand in Bangkok in December 2006, and the first meeting of the Joint Fishery Working Group between Thailand and Sri Lanka held in March 2007 in Bangkok.

They also encouraged concerned agencies of both sides to further enhance the implementation of the existing MOUs in this regard.
