Undersecretary Manlio Di Stefano had a video call with his Thai counterpart Vijavat Isarabhakdi. The interview is part of a cycle of contacts with his counterparts in South-East Asian countries to relaunch relations and encourage a rapid recovery after the COVID crisis.<\/p>\n
The conversation was an opportunity to take stock of the excellent bilateral relations also in the wake of the success of the Italo-Thai Business Forum chaired by the Undersecretary in Rome last year. Both interlocutors were satisfied with the intense economic exchange (in 2019 it reached 3.1 billion euros, with a 14.4% growth in Italian exports), highlighting the margins for improvement, especially in the field of infrastructure and technology.<\/p>\n
The Vice Minister Isarabhakdi, expressing his best wishes for the Republic Day, congratulated on the effectiveness of the Italian measures for the management of the Covid-19 pandemic, and projected a complete reopening of the flows of people in the near future. Isarabhakdi thanked for the assistance offered to the Thai community in Italy and hoped for a further sharing of “best practices” in health matters.<\/p>\n
Di Stefano, thanking for the solidarity shown by Thailand, including the donation of two respirators, expressed Italy’s position in favour of a global effort for the vaccine, which should be distributed at cost price to the benefit of all.<\/p>\n
Finally, the conversation offered the opportunity to make progress on many other dossiers, from EU-Thailand relations to economic and scientific cooperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Undersecretary Manlio Di Stefano had a video call with his Thai counterpart Vijavat Isarabhakdi.
