“It has high potential to forge closer ties with Thailand in agriculture in many areas including technology cooperation and transfer, trade facilitation and trading,” he said. They will draw up a joint agricultural development programme for the effective utilisation of resources in the agricultural field, considering especially the potential of the two countries. Besides government-to-government collaboration, the agricultural sector could be facilitated by the process of institutional cooperation between Thailand and Korea’s public sectors. Both sides will exchange technical officers and researchers, perform joint agricultural research and development, swap agricultural and technical information, and organise workshops, seminars and conferences on subjects of mutual interest. A joint agricultural working group (JAWG) will be established to implement the provisions of this MoU.
