BANGKOK: Thailand’s commerce Ministry is targeting Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV) countries as part of its plan to promote Thai goods and services in 16 cities. Malee Choklumlerd, director-general at the International Trade Promotion Department, said CLMV is becoming Thailand’s key export markets.
“The selected 16 markets are highlighted under the export promotion plan, as they have strong power to emerge as the trading centre of each of these countries, besides being tourist attractions, and cross-border cities,” Malee said. She added that the focus on these new markets, besides the capital city of each country, should help expand export growth from Thailand to CLMV.
