IMPHAL, Jan 9: With the objective of fostering better trade relations between Manipur and South Asian countries, the Thailand Government is setting up Thai Trade Information Centre and Tourism Information Centre at Imphal in March this year.
A reliable source informed The Sangai Express that the trade information centre at Imphal would be opened by the New Delhi based Royal Thai Embassy in response to the Government of India’s Look East Policy.
Councillor Commercial of Royal Thai Embassy Tharadol Thongraung would be visiting Imphal soon to inspect the site for the Thai Trade Information Centre and Tourism Information Centre. He would personally open the trade information centre at Imphal.
The centre which would be run under the aegis of the North East Federation of International Trade would provide information about mercantile activities of Thailand as well as information on Thailand tourism besides displaying certain products of that country.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic has expressed intention to launch helicopter service between Imphal and Moreh in a bid to boost the bilateral trade between India and Myanmar through Moreh.
For this, the helicopter which may be put into service would have the capacity to carry two tonnes of goods and 20 passengers. For the Imphal-Moreh helicopter service, mobile helipads may also be used, conveyed the source.
In a step to launch the service which may be later known as Ultra Light Helicopter Service, head of Political, Development and Trade of Czech Embassy at New Delhi Jan Kreuerter visited Imphal last month. He also talked with the Chief Minister during his visit.
However, the Czech Republic is looking for a local partner to run the Imphal-Moreh helicopter service. For similar helicopter services in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, necessary preparatory works have been completed. On the other hand, the list of items sanctioned for trade between India and Myanmar through Moreh has been increased to 40 from the previous 22 items by adding 18 more items.
The newly added items of trade include utensils of stainless steel, cotton clothes, jewellery, sugar, common salt, spices, bicycle parts, X-ray photo papers etc. In order to facilitate smooth trade interaction between Indian and Myanmarese authorities, cable laying work for a hotline between Moreh UBI branch and the planned Myanmar Economic Bank at Tamu is under progress, added the source.
