• When Yingluck Shinawatra became Thailand’s first
ever female Prime Minister following her landslide
victory in the August 2011 elections, the
businesswoman turned-politician’s relatively
youthful age of 45 made her the country’s youngest
leader for more than 60 years, immediately resulting
in an injection of fresh new life and promise into the
nation and its governance.
• Mrs Shinawatra has successfully begun to win back
the trust of the Thai people, maintaining social and
economic stability and now the revitalization of
bilateral relations with the United Kingdom.
• It appears that now, in taking heed of the continued
royal amity and their non-forgotten pledge, the
nations’ current political leaders are intent on
pursuing an entirely different relationship of their
own.
• As a result of Mrs Shinawatra’s mission to
Westminster last winter, an unprecedented
agreement was made with the Cameron
administration over the establishment of a Strategic
Dialogue that will act as a “high-level, consultative
forum to set and monitor the future of bilateral
cooperation in all areas”.
• The new mechanism for communication is expected
to bring a regular platform for both countries to
exchange views on various matters of mutual
interest, aimed at intensifying the already healthy
relations and sparking a number of new
socioeconomic initiatives and projects in the areas of
trade and investment, tourism, education and
defense, as well as serve as a vital arena in the
exchange of innovational knowledge.
• Economically speaking, there has long been a strong
and active presence of the British private sector in
Thailand.
• Thailand is certainly a formidable partner in these
troubled economic times. Amid Europe’s sovereign
debt crisis and a faltering global economy, Thailand’s
GDP grew at an all time high of 18.9 per cent year-
on-year in the final quarter of 2012.
• Overall the Thai economy expanded by 6.3 per cent
last year, a figure rendered all the more impressive
considering 2011’s feeble increase of just 0.1 per
cent, when the worst floods in almost 70 years
swamped most of the country.
• In the past few years, Thailand has witnessed marked
progress in its socio-economic development, and
despite the political challenges it has suffered in
recent times, the country has become a real success
story of emerging nations, sustaining economic
growth and large poverty reduction to go with it.
• Now, under the leadership of Mrs Shinawatra, the
Thai government is boosting spending to support
growth, opening up the economy to greater foreign
investment and seeking to develop deeper links with
the rest of the developed world.
