Additionally, the event received the honor of Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce<\/strong>, \u201cwho addressed the challenges facing the Ministry of Commerce. He emphasized the need to create a balance for both consumers and producers, coupled with proactive policies to reduce expenses, increase income, and expand investment opportunities. Regarding the country’s upgrading strategy, he stressed the importance of considering the environmental and labor aspects in all dimensions. This includes aligning production with the regulations of the new global order to enhance the competitiveness of Thai products.\u201d Furthermore, Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Minister of Labour<\/strong>, spoke on the topic of \u201cSetting the Minimum Wage Target to 400 Baht per Day.’ He proposed the establishment of a tripartite committee to study which businesses could afford a wage increase. Recognizing the potential impact on SMEs if a blanket wage increase were implemented, discussions are expected with the Prime Minister to differentiate minimum wages based on professions and regions. It is anticipated that the announcement of the minimum wage, set at 400 Baht per day for certain occupations, will be made in April. The emphasis is also on enhancing capabilities and skills for all labor sectors to increase income for the Thai workforce.” Mr.Chayatan Phromsorn, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport<\/strong>, \u201cReiterated the significance of the global-scale project ‘Landbridge’ in the context of Thailand’s pivotal transformation.
