The government is proceeding its years-long plan for joint production of petroleum resources in the Gulf of Thailand together with Cambodia, according to government sources.
Sources said Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon had pushed for cooperation with Cambodia for years. He discussed it with Suy Sem, Cambodian minister of mines and energy, in Bangkok on Dec 16, 2022. Both sides viewed possible cooperation as a solution to energy shortages.
The cabinet on Tuesday had an informal discussion on the realisation of the joint production of petroleum resources estimated at 5 trillion baht.
