Thailand - Cambodia First Border Trade Festival.
7 October, 2010
Paving the Path of Trade with Smiles. Border tensions have certainly eased immensely since just weeks ago.
It really was just weeks, the end of July, 2010 that Thai and Cambodian armed forces were facing off at the border over which country would manage the Preah VihearTemple Site. We won't get into the politics of it here, but in the end, politics have prevailed, old alliances have been diminished and new ones strengthened. The two countries have spent the recent weeks building new bridges and creating opportunities for a lasting friendship.
No better way to do that than to make opportunities for trade, something second nature to the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Thailand.
