During the Official Visit to the Kingdom of Sweden on 4 March 2013, H.E. Ms. Yingluck Shinawatra, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, was accompanied by approximately 30 Thai business representatives from four sectors, namely food, energy/green economy, medical tourism, and designer goods/creative economy, to promote business ties between the two countries. In addition, a group of Thai Fair Trade producers were also invited to join the delegation to promote Thai Fair Trade products in the Swedish and the Nordic markets.
