The government remains adamant it is continuing its long-delayed Dawei special economic zone (DSEZ) project and vows to find solutions to obstacles at a tripartite meeting between Thailand, Japan and Myanmar.
Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow, who is chairman of the Thai-Myanmar Joint High-Level Committee (JHC) for the DSEZ, said Thailand s government agencies are looking for solutions before the next JHC meeting, which has not been scheduled.
Any solutions approved by the JHC will then be proposed to the tripartite meeting, said Mr Supattanapong. The Dawei project should be not only a deep-sea port, but also a location for industrial development, he said.
