Vice President Ansari praised the Indian diaspora in Thailand , saying, more closer economic interactions are possible with India, as a whole new range of promising areas have opened up in the country of their origin. <br/><br/>The interests of India and Thailand as the great maritime neighbours are the same in keeping sea lanes in the region free at all times, to quote Vice President Hamid Ansari. <br/><br/>In matters relating to connectivity also, there is convergence of opinions with Thailand. Three MoU's signed with Brunei Darussalam including on defence and the positive signals on a joint venture fertilizer unit are the highlights of the visit to the small but influential Sultanate. <br/><br/>It was after a long gap that a visit by a Vice President of India has taken place to both the countries. It was an opportunity to reinvigorate India's relations with the two of the ASEAN grouping, which is pivotal to India's "Act East Policy."
