Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on a two-day visit to Thailand, beginning today. During his visit, he addressed a joint press conference with Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.
At the outset, PM Modi paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the earthquake that struck on March 28. He then discussed the religious and cultural ties between India and Thailand.
Upon his arrival in Bangkok, PM Modi was accorded a guard of honour. During the visit, India and Thailand signed an agreement to establish a strategic partnership, which includes defense cooperation and the advancement of a 1,300-km-long highway project connecting India and Thailand via Myanmar. This highway will originate in northeastern India and extend to northern Thailand.
