The Japan Business Federation, also known as Keidanren, remains confident about its investments in Thailand and is keen to continue here, particularly in businesses related to the bio-, circular and green (BCG) economy.
Speaking after meeting with a group of visiting Japanese business executives headed by Yoshihisa Suzuki, vice-chairman of the Board of Councillors of Keidanren and chairman of the Japan-Thailand Trade and Economic Committee, Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said most Japanese companies remain interested in continuing their investment and using Thailand as a key production base and raw material supply chain, especially for the food industry.
Mr Jurin said he also encouraged Japanese investors to ramp up their outlays in the government's flagship Eastern Economic Corridor and existing special economic zones.
