The 19th Japan-Thailand Joint Trade and Economic Committee Meeting Joint Statement



September 17, 2004, Tokyo

  1.

With respect to the field of agricultural, forestry and fisheries products, we will seek a well-balanced cooperation and liberalization that will lead to the sound development of the agricultural, forestry and fisheries industries in both countries and will help to create a favorable living environment for thカジノシークレット キャッシュバック 上限eople of both countries.

  3. In order to establish a base in each country for the freer and smoother business activities, both countries should clearly express their intentions to liberalize the investment and services fields in principle, and should engage actively in the necessary cooperation to achieve that goal. At the same time, both Japanese and Thai governments should, with thカジノシークレット キャッシュバック 上限articipation of their business communities, establish mechanisms for resolving problems that arise in the course of their day-to-day business in each country.

  4. In addition to the above, both countries should also foster development in such spheres as the liberalization and facilitation of the movement of natural persons, thカジノシークレット キャッシュバック 上限rotection of intellectual property rights, the harmonization of standards and certification, and the encouragement of e-commerce transactions, and should further promote cooperation in such fields as information and telecommunication technology, tourism, education and human-resource development.
