According to Mr Suvit, Thailand's trade talks will now focus more on strategic partnerships rather than only free trade agreements. (Post Today photo)Thailand is revving up free trade talks with Britain after the latter's decision to leave the European Union makes it easier for it to pursue international trade talks. Thailand's trade value with Britain was registered at US$6.4 billion last year, down 6.1% from $6.8 billion in 2014. Thailand also aims to accelerate trade talks under the framework of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), he said. Britain is now ranked as Thailand's 19th-largest trading partner in the world and Thailand's second-largest trading partner in Europe.
