CP boss touts 'Switzerland of Asean'

Quick Summary:

Thailand could act as the "Switzerland of Asean" to attract global investment, especially from tech behemoths, in the bipolar political environment based on the country's neutral stance, says Suphachai Chearavanont, chief executive of conglomerate Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group.

He said over the next decade more joint platforms are likely in which the private sector provides new kinds of training and learning platforms or labs for students and the public, reducing the gap between the education and industrial sectors.

Thailand has geographical and geopolitical advantages, especially in terms of the tech ecosystem, amid a bipolar world, said Mr Suphachai.
