The Trade Negotiations Department is scheduled to lead a delegation to participate in a Joint Trade Committee (JTC) meeting between Thailand and India today, marking the first such meeting in 20 years since India hosted the event.
Auramon Supthaweethum, director-general of the department, said the New Delhi meeting will focus on resolving import restrictions, opening up agricultural and animal product markets, digitally signing and certifying certificates of origin, accepting product standards and economic cooperation such as shooting movies and promoting health tourism.
According to Mrs Auramon, the main reason for the long delay between meetings was an emphasis on talks concerning the Thailand-India free trade agreement (FTA) and the Asean-India FTA.
