The government's strategic committee for the development of southern border provinces is pushing for a raft of development projects aimed at strengthening ties between Thailand and Saudi Arabia.
A meeting of the committee on Thursday approved the projects after the two kingdoms agreed to re-establish full diplomatic ties following Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s visit to the Middle Eastern country in January, said Maj Gen Patchasak Patirupanont, an assistant spokesman for Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon.
