លោកស្រី Suphajee ធានាថា រដ្ឋាភិបាលរយៈពេលខ្លីរបស់អាជីវកម្មអាស៊ាននឹងមិនប៉ះពាល់ដល់ផែនការសេដ្ឋកិច្ចរយៈពេលវែងទេ





 Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun assured ASEAN business leaders that the current Thai government's limited tenure will not disrupt the nation's long-term economic strategies.



The government is implementing short-term stimulus measures, such as co-payment schemes and faster investment approvals, to boost immediate growth and investor confidence.


Thailand's long-term economic plans include becoming the region's logistics and digital hub, a food security hub, and developing seven future industries like AI and clean energy.


The country's chairmanship of the Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) is cited as a key initiative supporting its ambition to become a regional digital hub.


Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun on Monday reassured ASEAN business leaders that despite the Thai government’s limited tenure, its policies will not hinder Thailand’s long-term goals to become the region’s logistics and digital hub.



Suphajee represented Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to deliver Thailand’s economic perspective on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur. She addressed the Leader Fireside Chat, hosted by the ASEAN Business Advisory Council, attended by over 500 ASEAN business executives.



Short-term measures for immediate economic stimulus


Suphajee said that while the government faces several challenges, it has rolled out clear economic stimulus measures to generate tangible short-term growth, which will also strengthen long-term fundamentals and restore investor confidence.


She cited the “Let’s Go Halves Plus” co-payment scheme as a key example, noting that it would reduce the cost of living for around 13–14 million people while boosting domestic consumption.


The minister added that the government is also pursuing household debt restructuring and supporting SMEs to expand into franchising with standardised training and easier access to financing.


Another priority, she said, is the “Fast Plus Pass” initiative to cut red tape and speed up Board of Investment (BOI) approvals, enabling foreign investors to start businesses in Thailand more quickly.



Long-term vision for sustainable competitiveness



For the long term, Suphajee said Thailand would leverage its agricultural strengths to become a regional food security hub.


She added that the government would assist the private sector in adapting to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and adopting digital technologies to enhance competitiveness.


Suphajee also identified seven future industries that would underpin Thailand’s competitiveness:


Digital and AI technologies

Advanced semiconductors

Future mobility

Future foods

Clean energy

Biotechnology

Health and wellness sciences




Building ASEAN’s logistics and digital hub




Suphajee told ASEAN businesses that Thailand aims to position itself as the region’s logistics and digital hub, capitalising on its strategic location linking China and Southeast Asia.


She said Thailand’s chairmanship of the Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) would further support this ambition.


“Although the government has limited tenure, Thailand has clear economic plans and is determined to achieve short-term economic wins while building a strong foundation for the future,” she concluded. “Thailand will re-emerge as a robust and open economic hub for the region.”

 The 72-year old’s border conflict theatrics and peace prize pandering aim to deflect scrutiny from a regime that can now add child sextortion to its list of malign economic interests. Cambodia’s long-time leader Hun Sen may have entered his supposed retirement back in 2023, but he remains the region’s unrivaled master of grand political theater and cunning sleight of hand. This has rarely been more apparent than in the unfolding of the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict in recent months. Back in June, he took a step that effectively reset the optics of the entire dispute. Cambodia’s opposition, which has hammered Hun Sen over the years for being too close to neighboring foreign powers, was forced to fall in line after he released audio of his call with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, directly interfering in Thai domestic affairs and putting the nail in the coffin of her floundering premiership. What began as a liability – accusations of softness toward Thailand – was re...

 And What It Means for Washington’s Indo-Pacific Strategy Chinese President Xi Jinping smiles next to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh, October 2016.  When Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen claimed a landslide victory in the country’s July 29 elections, most international observers quickly denounced the results as rigged. Given that the election has helped consolidate Hun Sen’s 33-year, increasingly authoritarian hold on power, these accusations are troubling. Even more troubling, however, may be Hun Sen’s recent tilt toward China and the increasing local and regional benefits Beijing is receiving from its relationship with Cambodia. For myriad reasons, Washington has long considered Cambodia a strategic lost cause. Yet the country’s Chinese turn should serve as a warning of what China’s growing economic presence, especially in authoritarian countries, will mean for Southeast Asia and Eurasia more broadly. To respond effectively, the United States and its allies n...

 China’s handling of Myanmar’s border incursions and efforts towards the Cambodia-Thai ceasefire stand in stark contrast to the US approach With US President Donald Trump’s unabashed claim of ending eight wars in eight months hogging the limelight, China’s handling of both intrusions along its border with Myanmar and the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute has gone relatively unnoticed. In stark contrast to America’s dramatic and forceful brokering of peace deals, Beijing has adopted a calibrated and generally reactive response to Myanmar’s border intrusions and supports Asean taking the lead on the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute resolution. The Myanmar military has intruded into China on a number of occasions. In August 2009, an artillery shell landed in Yunnan, killing one Chinese and injuring several others; another in January 2013 caused neither death nor injury. A more serious intrusion occurred in March 2015 when a bomb discharged from a Myanmar aircraft killed five Chinese ...
