Myanmar's president visited Thailand on 6-7 Aug 2026, his first trip abroad since taking office in April. Both sides agreed to push trade and investment, reopen the second Friendship Bridge crossing (Mae Sot-Myawaddy), and cut border trade red tape. Thailand plans to host the 8th Joint Trade Committee meeting in 2026, the first in over 10 years, aiming for US$12 billion in bilateral trade by 2032. Labour cooperation MOU signed; no new rules or deadlines for businesses yet. Watch the border crossing reopening if you trade or source goods near Mae Sot.
