Poj Aramwattananont, chairman of the chamber, said the discussions over the weekend between the US and China were a positive sign for the global economy, easing trade tensions as the duo agreed to reduce tariffs for 90 days.

He said Thailand, a long-standing ally and strategic partner of the US, needs to act quickly to prepare for trade negotiations, sharing insights that highlight new trade opportunities this month.

The private and public sectors worked together to develop a proposal designed to streamline market access and bolster Thailand’s standing in the global trade landscape, said Mr Poj.
