TOKYO — As the U.S. government’s tariff policy shakes the global trading system, Thailand should join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to benefit from cooperation with other economies, the senior chairman of one of Southeast Asia’s biggest conglomerates said.
“Thailand should immediately join it. There is no reason not to join,” Dhanin Chearavanont of Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group told Nikkei Asia in an exclusive interview in late May.
