I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your letter reaffirming our close bilateral relations and acknowledging the importance of the private sector in the social and economic development of our common border areas.
I fully share your view that there is high potential for cooperation in the energy sector, particularly in the border areas between Thailand and Malaysia. In view of the burgeoning ASEAN Economic Community and the growing economic activities in these areas, the demand for energy consumption will likely increase in the years to come.
