Thailand will be a proving ground for the proposed Chinese-Japanese economic platform as the two giant economies seek efficient investment in Asean. China and Japan signed an agreement to set up an economic platform to work together in Asean on May 9 this year, with the aim of developing the regional economy. Industry Minister Uttama Savanayana said China and Japan are interested in investing in Thailand, especially in the flagship Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). China and Japan are the second and the third largest economies in the world. Japan and China will also establish a service trade cooperation mechanism to actively promote reciprocal cooperation in the service sector.
