A JICA representative in Thailand elaborates on Japan’s aid strategy further:It is Japanese government’s policy to get Japanese companies more involved abroad. We try to motivate Japanese companies to be involved in projects in Thailand. We are not just handing out money but also acting like a catalyst between the public agencies on the Thai side and Japanese contractors. … When you build a new railway line, it is quite risky for the private sector to bear all the construction cost, as well as the operation cost. … You should make a public investment first, and gradually give out concessions to [private companies]. … If JICA funds an infrastructure project, that project will have more credibility in the eyes of Japanese companies. … If Japanese companies join the project, Japanese know-how will also be transferred to the Thai side. … Japan’s strengths in the transport sector are on safety, comfort, reliability, better product life-cycle … for both hardware and software (Bangkok).
