Thailand and the United Kingdom aim to reinvigorate two-way trade between the two countries to US$7 billion as quickly as possible after the value declined significantly over the past five years.

Speaking after the first Joint Economic and Trade Committee meeting between Thailand and the United Kingdom held in London on Tuesday, Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said the meeting offered a significant new opportunity to improve bilateral trade, including by addressing trade barriers affecting business activity in both countries.
