On June 7, 2023, President Ornkanya (Mook) Pibuldham of AMCHAM led representatives to meet with Dr. Chula Sukmanop, the newly appointed Secretary General of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office of Thailand (EEC), at the EEC Office.

During the meeting, AMCHAM President congratulated Dr. Chula on his official appointment as Secretary General of EEC. The discussion focused on the progress and development of various infrastructure projects within the EEC, including the High-Speed Rail Link, U-Tapao Airport (Aerotropolis project), the new smart city and financial center, and the EEC medical hub.

Dr. Chula emphasized that the EEC would continue to provide generous support to existing investors in the area, treating them as neighbors, while also implementing special investment incentives to attract more investors. Additionally, the EEC is in the process of developing an “EEC Fundraising venue,” enabling investors to raise funds in US dollars and creating a more appealing ecosystem for investment in the EEC.

On behalf of all AMCHAM members, representatives also expressed their willingness to assist the EEC in enhancing the investment ecosystem to be business-friendly for all enterprises.
