BANGKOK, Thailand—Thailand’s new prime minister has met Tesla boss Elon Musk and executives from other US tech and investment firms

Srettha Thavisin, a former property mogul who took office last month, has pledged to pep up the kingdom’s financial fortunes, which were hit hard by the halt to tourism during the pandemic.

“We had a good conversation on @Tesla , @spaceX , and @starlink technology,” Srettha posted on X, formerly Twitter, early Friday.Thailand is one of Southeast Asia’s leading car producers, and is looking to transition production to electric vehicles. Srettha also posted photos from meetings with Google and Microsoft executives, and the CEO of investment house BlackRock, Larry Fink.

Forecasts for Thai growth for this year range from 2.5-3.5 percent, but Srettha is aiming to boost this to five percent in the coming years after a period of stagnation during nearly a decade of military-backed government.
