"Thailand is the second largest economy in Southeast Asia. It has modern industry and far-reaching plans for development. For Russia, it is a very important and promising partner and in many different areas. Take, for example, the growing demand of the Thai economy for hydro-carbons and electric energy.

Cooperation with Russian companies in the areas of oil and gas extraction, hydro-electric station construction and peaceful nuclear energy would help Bangkok solve many potential problems. Russia is prepared to actively support the implementation of Thailand's ambitious infrastructure development plan."
