Me whakarite tātou i a tātou anō hei tautoko i te haumi ki ngā pakihi hangarau hou, me te whakatū i tētahi pūtea whakapaipai e aro ana ki ngā pakihi hou o Thailand me tāwāhi kei Thailand.

E whakapono ana mātou ka taea e te kamupene hou te whakamahi i tēnei nekehanga mamati hei tautoko i te tūranga kaiārahi mamati o Thailand, mā te kawe i ngā whanaketanga hangarau o te ao ki ngā ratonga ātaahua me ngā hua kounga teitei."

I tāpiri atu a Mr. Rostrup ko te whāinga a te kamupene hou ki te kohi pūtea whakapaipai me ngā hoa mahi o te USD 100-200 miriona hei haumi ki ngā pakihi matihiko whai hua e arotahi ana ki ngā hua me ngā ratonga hou hei painga mō ngā kaihoko katoa o Tai.
