It will also ensure that all companies investing in Thailand in the future have access to renewable energy." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Srettha Thavisin, Thai Prime Minister: "Thailand has prioritized improving physical connectivity and investing in infrastructure. This includes upgrading a number of airports throughout our country. In addition, we are also taking full advantage of our geographical location in the region and embarking on a megaproject to develop a land bridge. This project will connect the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand. It will considerably reduce the commute time between the Indian and Pacific Oceans and mitigate the constrain phase in the region. This is a very important project, not just for Thailand, but also for the world. Since this provides an alternative connecting point between the East and the West. My government vision is for Thailand to become a regional hub for commerce and logistics within this decade. We eagerly welcome prospective investors to be part of this exciting initiative." 4. Wide of event STORYLINE: In his keynote address at the APEC CEO summit on Wednesday, the Prime Minister of Thailand discussed his pitch for a land bridge infrastructure project, connecting the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand. "We are taking full advantage of our geographical location in the region and embarking on a megaproject to develop a land bridge," said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. The proposed bridge would connect the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean without requiring ships to sail down along the tip of Singapore, known to experience congestion and would cut transport duration. "This is a very important project, not just for Thailand, but also for the world," he added. Thavisin also welcomed collaborations and investors to join the initiative. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
