According to the Foreign Office, this would be the first bilateral visit from Thailand in more than a decade.
The Thai Prime Minister is to be accompanied by a high-level delegation consisting of cabinet members, high officials, businessmen and other dignitaries.
It is expected that they will call on President Asif Ali Zardari and hold official talks with the prime minister.
As part of their meetings, one agreement and two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) are expected to be signed.
The business delegation from Thailand will hold separate meetings with their Pakistani counterparts on August 20 while the inaugural session of Pakistan-Thailand Joint Trade Committee would be held the next day.

@Truth: He meant 'area wise'. Hope Pakistan gets into FTA with Thailand. There's a lot to be explored and invested in on both sides of the fence. Thai businesses have potential of bringing in a lot of expertise that our country lacks.
Let's hope for the best.
Hope Thai visa requirements for Pakistanis is made as simple as it is for Indian Passport

@Nadir:"Lets hope the government of Pakistan brings up the awful and often racist treatment of Pakistanis in Thailand" I hope Thai PM brings up the MOST AWFUL MERCILESS SLAUGHTER of SHIAS, AHMADIS and all other MINORITIES in Pakistan
"The business delegation from Thailand will hold separate meetings with their Pakistani counterparts on August 20" Apart from President and PM, nice to know that Business community also expected to reap their share as well.
@AnisAqeel: Thailand a small country? They have 5 times better per capita GDP.

@Nadir: Can u name the countries that treats pakistanis with respect inclusive of pakistan?
Good step by our prime minister to invite his counter part to boost the relationship between two countries.
Lets hope the government of Pakistan brings up the awful and often racist treatment of Pakistanis in Thailand. Not going to happen but lets hope.
