Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister General Tanasak Patimapragorn will visit the Philippines April 6 to 7, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday.
In an announcement, the DFA said this will be the Thai deputy prime minister’s first official visit to the Philippines.
“The two ministers will also discuss issues of mutual concern in the fields of economy, trade and investments, agriculture, education, defense, technical cooperation, as well as relevant developments in the region,” the DFA added.
Patimapragorn served as the Supreme Commander of the Royal Thai Armed Forces and was appointed Foreign Affairs Minister in September 2014.
The DFA said Thailand is one of the Philippines’ “long-standing friends and closest partners in the region.”
