BANGKOK, July 25 (TNA) – Hong Kong agrees to give support
for ‘Thailand Cyberport,’ a project for innovation and digital technology
promotion of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak held a
meeting with a private business mission from Hong Kong, led by chairman of the
Hong Kong Trade Development Council Peter Lam, on the prospects of investment
in the EEC.

interests in exploring investment opportunities in the country, especially
Thailand Cyberport designed to facilitate startups.
The project would be a main topic in the meeting of Thai and
Hong Kong senior officials in October, he said.
