Thailand To Push Forward Digital Development To Strengthen ASEAN Connectivity

BANGKOK, Oct 29 (NNN-TNA) – Thai Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, said, he will lead Thailand to drive digital development in Southeast Asia, as a means to strengthen connectivity among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members.

Speaking at the “Digital Thailand Big Bang 2019” in Bangkok, Prayut said, digital economy was a key part in his government’s Thailand 4.0 policy, as it was a key component for economic growth.

“I want to remind you all that you should take advantage of the government’s adoption of advanced digital technologies, to develop human capital, society and key business segments, including farmers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which represent the largest proportion of the country’s population.”

Through the use of digital technology, the Thailand 4.0 economic development model will help leverage incomes across segments of society, he said.
