Thailand's PM will visit New Zealand August 20–22 (the first PM-level visit in 13 years) to elevate bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership. The visit aims to boost trade (tripling to 3x current value by 2032), expand investment, and unlock the TNZCEP trade agreement. Over 10 major Thai private sector companies will join to explore joint ventures and cooperation. Focus areas include trade, investment, technology, education, and tourism.
