Thai keen to invest in Meghalaya

Shillong, Feb 2

Thailand is keen to explore investment opportunities in Meghalaya with proposals ranging from tourism, infrastructure and aviation, Thai Ambassador to India Krit Kraichitt said.

''We are exploring all the investment feasibility in Meghalaya which Thai entrepreneurs can invest here,'' he told UNI.

Under the Thai's Look West Policy, Mr Kraichitt said Thailand is also trying to include India's North East tourism potential in our tourism circuit.

''The North East has a lot to offer to the world. I have seen Assam and Meghalaya's potential and we also visit Nagaland to explore our investment opportunities,'' the Thai Ambassador said.

Meghalaya Governor RS Mooshahary, who met the Thai envoy to India, said Meghalaya and North East as a whole has a greater role to play in boosting bilateral trade between India and Thailand.

''Meghalaya is one of the most peaceful states in the Northeast and investment from Thailand is welcome here anytime,'' Mr Mooshahary said.
