“Today we discussed concrete measures aimed at strengthening our bilateral relations. Thailand is for us a primary trade partner in the ASEAN and a privileged destination for numerous Italian enterprises,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano, at the end of the meeting he had at the Farnesina with his Thai colleague, Don Pramudwinai.
The meeting, which falls within the framework of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Italy and Thailand, was held less than one month after the mission by the Italian Foreign Minister in South-East Asia, who stopped in Bangkok last 9 February.
During the talks, Minister Alfano reaffirmed Italy’s and the European Union’s expectations for a prompt re-establishment of the democratic process and respect of fundamental rights and freedoms in the Asian Country.
