Talks on trade, crime seek to achieve development goals
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha urged Asean members on Wednesday to maintain a good balance between promoting cross-border trade and suppressing transnational crime, which he said holds the key to meeting the region’s sustainable development goals. He made the remark during a speech at Wednesday’s opening of the “High Level Regional Conference: Synchronising Trade and Security Plans in Support of Asean 2025” at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok.
