Negotiations on a free trade agreement between EU and Thailand are to be resumed, after almost ten years.
“I warmly welcome the restart of our negotiations on a trade agreement with Thailand. A modern and dynamic agreement will lead to benefits for both sides and strengthen the EU’s trade contacts with the region,” writes the European Commission’s executive vice-president, Valdis Dombrovskis, in a press release.
Negotiations with Thailand were put on hold in 2014 as a result of the military coup that brought current Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha to power.
EU is Thailand’s fourth largest trading partner and third largest investor in the country.
