On track for success Share CLOSE Surasit Thanadtang, director of the Thai-Chinese Strategic Research Center at the National Research Council of Thailand, says the leadership of the Communist Party of China has put theories into practice to achieve national development. CHINA DAILY If you want to be rich, you have to build roads.
This was the Chinese proverb that Surasit Thanadtang, director of the Thai-Chinese Strategic Research Center at the National Research Council of Thailand, used to deploy when engaging with other experts during the drafting of the ASEAN Political-Security Community Blueprint in 2008. At that time, we had the ASEAN connectivity plan, so I thought why don t we think about other strategic choices, not just those from Britain or the West, says Surasit, who believed that learning from China s railway technology could be a credible alternative for the region.

The trafficking of children is still a major problem in Thailand, a recent study reveals, prompting the government to reiterate its commitment to stamping out the crime.
The study on protecting children from human trafficking was conducted by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) which revealed its findings at a meeting yesterday, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, his spokesman Lt Gen Kongcheep Tantravanich said.
According to the NRCT, Thailand is a source, destination and transit point for child trafficking.
The council said most trafficked children were smuggled into the country from Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar for sexual exploitation or forced labour in various tourist cities.
Spending on R&D in Thailand is forecast to be limited by the pandemic, staying below 1% of the country's GDP until next year, according to the Office of National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO).
