Mitsui & Co expressed its intention to invest more in Thailand in the field of clean energy production in particular, said Mr Srettha. Mitsui reportedly said its interest in biofuel and clean energy in Thailand was inspired by a Thai government investment roadshow in Japan last December. The prime minister also discussed energy exploration, healthcare and green packaging with Mitsui executives, government officials said.
