Thai PM Anutin met Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing during an official visit and agreed to deepen cooperation on security, trade, energy and border issues. Three MOUs were signed or set for signing: labour, river water quality and space technology. The PM said the Mae Sot–Myawaddy Friendship Bridge No. 2 crossing is to reopen, with plans to cut trade barriers and ease border trade. Thailand will host the Joint Trade Committee (JTC) this year. For SME owners trading or sourcing labour across the border, the practical signals are the reopening of the crossing and the push for legal, documented migrant hiring. No specific rules or dates were given yet.
