BANGKOK, Sept 22 — Thailand’s new prime minister has met Tesla boss Elon Musk and executives from other US tech and investment firms including Google and Microsoft as he seeks to boost the country’s flagging economy.
He met Musk on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, where he stressed Thailand’s commitment to sustainable development goals. Traditionally much of the output has been dominated by Japanese manufacturers, but Chinese EV makers are moving in. “The meeting aimed at possible investment in Thailand, in particular in support of clean energy-related enterprises’ investment expansion and production in Thailand,” Srettha wrote of his encounter with Fink.
