Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has urged all agencies concerned to speed up construction of the high-speed railway project in the hope of attracting more investors to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
The railway project linking Don Mueang airport in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi airport in Samut Prakan and U-Tapao airport in Rayong is one of the key infrastructure projects in the flagship scheme.
Speaking on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting which had discussed ways to alleviate financial burdens caused by high inflation, Gen Prayut insisted that the development of the EEC is key to bringing in revenue to the country and promoting job growth.
