Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will travel to Kazan, Russia, on June 17–18 to attend the Asean–Russia Commemorative Summit, where Thailand aims to expand cooperation in trade, investment, energy and other economic sectors under its economic diplomacy policy.
Deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said on Monday that Mr Anutin would depart Thailand this afternoon after a cabinet meeting to attend the summit.
The government expects the forum to generate tangible benefits for Thailand by opening new markets, creating opportunities for Thai businesses, attracting investment and strengthening the country's long-term competitiveness.
