Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strong 'Make in India' pitch today got the full support of his Thai counterpart Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha who said this concept can also be applied to drive the economy of his country.
At a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the ASEAN-India summit, Gen Prayut also had a word of praise for India's 'Act East' policy, saying it is important for the 10-member southeast nations grouping. The 'Act East' policy seeks to deepen India's ties with the southeast nations and other East Asian countries. Bilateral trade between Indian and Thailand has multiplied eight times since 2000 to reach USD 8.68 billion in 2012. During the period of January-February, 2013, bilateral trade was USD 1.68 billion.
