Thailand urged to quickly sign CPTPP, free trade pacts to protect itself


BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Thailand’s Board of Trade (BoT) has suggested that the government either join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) or sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union as soon as possible before foreign investors start flocking to other countries like Vietnam.

Buntoon Wongseelashote, vice chairman of the BoT committee on International Trade Negotiations, warned that Thailand will face problems if it joins the CPTPP partnership after the United States becomes a member.
