Mr. Abhisit also told reporters that today he met with residents in Trat, Chanthaburi, Rayong, and Chonburi, highlighting the importance of the Eastern region as a microcosm of Thailand's broader issues. He expressed a desire to see the agricultural sector upgraded, with food and fruit processing adding higher value to become a new economic engine capable of rapid growth as in the past. He wants to shift industrial production toward higher technology industries and increase income from higher-quality tourism. Nearly every province in the East faces these issues. Today provides an opportunity to discuss these matters with Eastern residents, and he hopes to gain their support to push these initiatives forward.
