Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha says closer bilateral ties with New Zealand will emphasise promoting stronger tourism between the countries.
The prime minister had a bilateral discussion on economics and tourism with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern during the Apec summit which ended on Saturday, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri.
The prime ministers agreed on environmental preservation that can maintain an economic balance and to prioritise ways to alleviate the global warming threat. They also discussed direct air links between Thailand and New Zealand, alongside the promotion of tourism.
