New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a three-day Thailand visit, is addressing a gathering at the ‘Sawasdee PM Modi’ community event at Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok. The 'Sawasdee PM Modi' event is being organised by Indian community in Thailand in close coordination with the Indian Embassy in Bangkok. During the visit, Modi is also likely to take a crucial decision to finalise the long-overdue Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the world's largest trading deal spanning 16-Asia Pacific nations. Besides the RCEP, the prime minister will also attend two other key summits over the next three days in Nonthaburi.
