28 November 2023 On November 27, Srettha Thavisin, the Prime Minister of Thailand, and Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, met at the Sadao border gate in Songkhla province to deliberate on enhancing economic, tourist, and security relations. They discussed the status of the four collaborative task groups they had formed during their prior meeting in October 2023, which dealt with commerce, tourism, agriculture, and security. Increasing border and bilateral trade was one of the main topics of talk. The Thai premier suggested holding a joint trade commission meeting and signing an agreement on cross-border goods transportation. In addition, both parties talked about the construction of a second bridge and a connecting road from the Sadao border post to Malaysia's Bukit checkpoint, which will connect the Sungai Kolok region of Narathiwat.
