PAST ACTIVITIES
USTBC SUPPORTS AND PARTICIPATES IN VISIT OF H.E. MR. SAKTHIP KRAIRIKSH, AMBASSADOR OF THAILAND TO THE UNITED STATES, TO MINNESOTA

The US-Thailand Business Council supported and participated in the recent visit of H.E. Mr. Sakthip Krairiksh, Ambassador of Thailand to the United States, to Minnesota on April 17-20.  As a young man, Ambassador Sakthip was an exchange student in southern Minnesota; the purpose of his trip was to renew friendships with people in the state.  Ambassador Sakthip also took the opportunity to take care of some business on his brief three-day stay in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.”  He addressed the Minnesota business community about the general investment climate in Thailand at a reception held in his honor at the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development.  He also visited the Pemstar Company, a maker of computer hardware, attended a “World Festival” in Rochester, and spoke about Thailand at Rochester Community and Technological College and at the Mayo Clinic.
