His Royal Highness Prince Philippe is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and many key economic ministers to discuss how to further enhance trade and investment partnership between the two nations. The Prime Minister of Thailand will host an official dinner in honour of Their Royal Highnesses at the Government House on 18 March 2013.

Apart from the official program, His Royal Highness will also visit the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Rayong Province, which houses many Belgian companies and plants, and visit the aquaculture industry in Phetchaburi Province.

Her Royal Highness Princess Mathilde will carry out several activities to promote the role of women in society and business. Her Royal Highness will also meet Thai leading businesswomen and representatives of international organizations.
