India and Thailand agreed to elevate bilateral relations to a
Strategic Partnership during extensive discussions held between Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and Thailand PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra at the Government House in
Bangkok. Both leaders held talks on
various areas of bilateral cooperation and later witnessed the signing of
several key agreements that add new vigour and dynamism to the longstanding
friendship between the two nations.
Besides the Joint Declaration on the establishment of India-Thailand
Strategic Partnership, a MoU was also signed between the Ministry of Digital
Economy and Society of Thailand and the Ministry of Electronics and Information
Technology of India on cooperation in the field of digital technologies.
Another MoU between India’s National
Small Industries Corporation Ltd. (NSIC) and Thailand’s Office of Small and
Medium Enterprises Promotion (OSMEP) was signed on cooperation in the field of
micro, small and medium enterprises. Two others key MoUs signed included
between the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) and
Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and between North Eastern Handicrafts
and Handlooms Development Corporation Limited (NEHHDC) of India and Creative
Economy Agency (CEA) of the Government of Thailand.
In his remarks, PM Modi highlighted that India’s ‘Act East’ policy and
Thailand’s ‘Act West’ complement each other very well and open up opportunities
for bilateral cooperation in many fields. “We have emphasised on cooperation in
the fields of tourism, culture and education between Thailand and the
North-Eastern states of India. We discussed growing mutual trade, investment,
and business exchanges. Agreements have also been made to foster cooperation in
the areas of MSME, handloom and handicrafts,” PM Modi said during the joint press
statement with the Prime Minister of Thailand. The Prime Minister stated that the talks focused on ways to deepen the
India-Thailand Strategic Partnership, including sectors in strategic areas such
as defence, security, maritime safety and hydrography. During the discussions,
Prime Minister Modi also expressed solidarity with the people of Thailand in
the aftermath of the earthquake a few days ago.
PM Modi also mentioned that India fully supports ASEAN unity and ASEAN
centrality.
