Thailand has sought expansion of the Thai-Hainan mini FTA, with success seen in negotiations over the sales of goods and joint training sessions for business operators from Thailand and Hainan, he noted.
This resulted in the bilateral trade value rising by 91.9 per cent last year to 18.2 billion baht ($527 million), he said.
The country plans to expand trade with more places in China, including Shenzhen and Yunnan provinces, through such mini FTAs in future, he was quoted as saying by a Chinese state-owned media outlet.
