It is declared that Thailand Prime Minister Yingluck
Shinawatra will be the chief guest at this year’s Republic Day Parade. She is among
the world’s richest women, and she will be the youngest chief guest at the
parade in the past 36 years, as she is only 44 years old.
The choice was consistent with India’s “Look East policy” and it is reflected New Delhi’s desire to improve trade ties with Bangkok. This move will help to carry forward these policies. The chief guests at the 2010 and 2011 Republic Day Parades were South Korean president Lee Myung Bak and Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Bilateral trade with Thailand multiplied six-fold between 2000 and 2010 to cross $6.6 billion. These two countries have a deep cultural links; they also share a maritime boundary. In fact thousands of Thai Pilgrims visit Bodh Gaya every single year, and as per Indians Thailand is one of the most favorite holiday destinations.

So, this is a good move by the Government, which will help to boost up
the relationship with Thailand. Thailand is one of the strongest and
well-improved countries of recent times.
