On 15 September 2022, H.E. Mr. Sorajak Puranasamriddhi, Ambassador, and Mr. Aphirak Paepuang, Minister of Commercial Affairs, Pretoria, South Africa, met with Mr. Umed Alani, Chief Operating Officer of COGEF Group, to discuss the importation of the Company's products from Thailand for retail sales in Africa. Recently, the Company has requested for Thai goods, such as sugar (Mitr Phol), confectionery, notepads, and medical equipment (e.g., medical gloves). As a result, Mr. Umed has informed us of his plan to travel to Thailand in March 2023 to participate in trade shows in the Company's on-demand products and visit a medical glove factory during the visit.

In addition, the Ambassador has invited the Company to set up a purchasing office in Thailand to import quality products from Thailand. The Minister also did a business matching between the Company and Thai companies that produce on-demand products. Both sides hope these business activities will lead to further value-added trade between the two countries.
