Before the APEC summit will open “Dr. Thanit Sorat” Vice-President of the Federation of Thai Employers, Traders and Industry Organizations or “ECONTHAI” Giving perspective as a private sector closely follows the issue. Interesting
“Don’t let this meeting get lost in the moonlight or the wind. Or just keep it as an honor. that once there was an APEC meeting would be of no use”.
This is a phrase that Dr. Thanit has emphasized “Thairath Online News Special Team” to let you know This APEC meeting in Thailand is important. It is considered one of the most important regional meetings in the world. This is considered a multi-stakeholder meeting of many sectors coming together. A large meeting like this Discussions will focus on protocols or agreements. according to Convention Emphasis on Interconnection Trade Facilitation Of which Thailand pushes on the matter BCG model Both the bioeconomy circular economy and green economy
When viewed from the perspective of the general public Things economic zone leaders talk about including meetings at the level of business leaders; or APEC CEO Summit that it will be a forum where big business tycoons will have the opportunity to confront the leaders of various economic zones It may be a distant question. Difficult to understand for small entrepreneurs or SMEs in our country.
The question is if So what does a small business owner get? If you look at the image of the country having people travel to Thailand What I have achieved in full is to project the image of Thailand to be known on the world stage because both before and after the summitleader of APEC There are many sub-stages. Thailand’s image as a host country will be projected to the world. It’s an advertisement for the country’s image.
“What you receive directly for retail would not be out of the way. Because the leaders of major economies such as the United States, China, Japan, Australia, who are important traders of Thailand traveled to attend the meeting will make people in that country see Thailand’s image and attract tourists to travel to the country Encourage people to want to travel to Thailand. This is what small business owners will directly get.
when tourists enter The target of 20 million tourists may not be unattainable. Naturally, this amount of money will go to grassroots businesses that welcome tourists from airport gates, guides, taxis, hotels, spa massage businesses, restaurants, traders in tourist destinations. In this part it is agreed that small entrepreneurs receive direct credit.
“But what the government needs to look beyond is after recognizing Thailand’s image. How to work proactively After the EPA meeting, the scene descended. to attract money back
As a result of the APEC meeting, there will be many agreements made through discussions with business leaders and relevant officials in various forums, such as the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Agreement or FTAAP, which is an advantage, especially with the entry of a FTA With US Related: If the FTA is successfully promoted, it will bring more investment to Thailand. There are many paths to invest in Thailand. Sending goods to the United States will receive more favorable terms. But when the framework for discussion is the image of a long-term policy over the next 5 years, I don’t know whether there will be a solution or not. This may be a distant matter for small business owners to see direct results in the short term.
The car is hot! need to find a host
While some framework agreements were discussed at the APEC forum “Thailand, we need to find a host to build on”, which is important. It’s not a meeting that takes pictures together and ends. Must allow government agencies to be guests, not accept further in bringing a framework of cooperation to match enterprises, such as the Ministry of Commerce. Minister of Foreign Affairs who already has potential and should not let the period be left for a long time After the end of the APEC meeting, it should continue immediately. Otherwise there may be gaps. because the sooner Thailand is about to enter the election may cause the extension of the cooperation push to stop
what’s important Don’t forget to involve the private sector, especially SMEs, because they will benefit from it. It’s not just big business that’s involved. Because in the past there were usually only large private individuals who went to talks with foreign leaders.
“The Federation of Thai Industries or ready-made large private Ma will need to integrate a small private network.
Organize an army to invade and capture trading partners after the end of APEC
If possible, the government will establish a budget immediately after the APEC meeting. Bringing small entrepreneurs to negotiate trade with countries that have discussed cooperation from the APEC forum. And he must plan a strategy to attack, how to attack, that this part can be done in parallel at once Otherwise it will be of no use. must get to the point where he planned to complain that after the APEC meeting he would take Thailand’s private sector especially minors and PMI How to match trade according to the framework that has been discussed? bring the real business of that country come and know our business
Also, all topics must be followed up in the meeting that Are there any topics under discussion that continued? Because we must not forget that the leaders of each country have important milestones. Many other stops he himself went to Take, for example, the G20 forum before the APEC meeting. We have to work proactively.
Opportunities to connect businesses with retailers after the APEC meeting There are many opportunities from the ministerial stage to the senior officer stage What should I do? We had to sit down and talk to each country and most importantly we had to make a plan on how to develop crystallization. how to invade Extend the stage between the leaders of the economic zone to the stage between the private and private sectors. according to the framework that was discussed in the APEC forum
Graduate APEC must be measurable.
“When the APEC meeting is about general policy and agreements, Causing sometimes not looking at small business free trade area in fact Each country was still holding a knife behind them. There will always be an issue of trade protection measures lurking in the background.
So the measure at the APEC meeting is not only about the visit of the leader of the economic zone and the decision whether we welcome him or not. Is the food brought to the banquet delicious? There were no violent protests. that will measure outcomes like this may get nothing
The key point is “Who did we talk to? What’s the deal? And is there a channel or not? to make the enterprise work and it must be measured at value not measured by spirit.” Why business if you measure results it must be measured in monetary value What is the regulatory framework? Keep it first.
You shouldn’t waste your chances!
Thailand should not waste this opportunity. because a lot of money has been spent on the preparations Must be able to measure the results in terms of money But if there is no private sector to join Measuring the money would not happen. must make the framework of cooperation in the APEC meeting forum lead to negotiations between “Private and private” who can trade with each other.
Dr. Thanit concluded that on the surface, this “APEC” meeting. privateRetailers may not expect much. But if government agencies make this match possible, it will become a successful business matchmaking. It will also allow small entrepreneurs to take advantage of it.
