Thai-U.S. Trade Talks Undeterred by Cambodia Tensions, Minister Says
BANGKOK, Nov 13 (TNA) - Thailand's Ministry of Commerce confirmed that trade negotiations with the United States will proceed, despite concerns over the ongoing political conflict with Cambodia.
Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun stated that the U.S. has committed to separating political matters from trade and remains intent on finalizing the talks by year-end.
She emphasized that Cambodia first violated a "Joint Declaration" and that the tension will not impact U.S.-Thai economic relations.
The ministry is simultaneously focusing on a proactive strategy to expand into new markets and reduce reliance on any single trading partner.
Recent meetings with the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council (USABC) affirmed Thailand's role as a key player in the global supply chain and a stable economic ally.
