Thailand’s Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantrporn chaired a meeting the same day with Thai overseas trade officials located in 60 countries worldwide who were assigned to promote the country’s foreign trade and build brand names for Thai products globally.
Thai export has sunk 3 percent this year due to negative trends in the global economy and the nation’s political instability.
