CHONBURI – Chonburi province is pushing for the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) by expediting transportation infrastructure projects and future city development.
Chonburi Governor Phakkharathon Thianchai on Monday presided over a meeting of a public-private committee on the development and solutions to economic problems in Chonburi province.
Secretary-General of the EEC committee, Khanit Saengsuphan said at the meeting that the EEC project is a continuation of the Eastern Seaboard project and stressed that work under the EEC strategy must be fast in line with the government’s policy.
