JSCCIB Joins Hands With TCEB To Demonstrate Thai Private Partnership

JSCCIB Joins hands with TCEBThe Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB to show support for the Thai private sector for the bid to host Expo 2028 Phuket Thailand and help raise public awareness of the bid which is now prioritised as the national agenda.

The MOU comes as the bid enters the final phase, with Thailand competing against four other countries for a final host selection in June.

The signed MOU between JSCCIB and TCEB affirms the collaboration of all sectors in Thailand, especially the business sector, in supporting the country’s candidature for Expo 2028 Phuket Thailand. It is to assure the committee of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) and its 171 member countries of Thailand’s commitment to the global exposition.

We believe the collaboration of the Thai private sector will be one key engine driving Thailand towards success in winning the bid to host Expo 2028 Phuket Thailand under the theme “Future of Life – Living in Harmony, Sharing Prosperity”. To be implemented under the concept “Connect the Dot”, our initiative will unite our stand effectively because it will involve close collaboration with the Joint Standing Committee of Phuket province and Andaman regional cluster, which consists of not only Phuket but also Ranong, Phang Nga, Krabi, Trang and Satun.JSCCIB Joins hands with TCEB
