Thailand has sought Japanese support for four water management projects, with Tokyo showing particular interest in flood prevention initiatives for the Chao Phraya River basin and Hat Yai.
Deputy Prime Minister Songsak Thongsri disclosed the outcome of talks with Japanese ambassador to Thailand Masato Otaka at Government House on Wednesday, saying water management and flood prevention were among the key issues discussed.
Mr Songsak said the Japanese government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) have long attached importance to water management and have been close partners in helping Thailand strengthen its flood prevention capabilities.
