BANGKOK (Yonhap News) ― Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said that next week’s nuclear summit to be hosted by South Korea will present a good opportunity to help countries around the world prevent the threats of nuclear terrorism.

Yingluck also said that, in a joint interview with Korean correspondents on Wednesday ahead of the second biennial Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, Thailand wants to learn South Korea’s know-how and skills on water-management projects following devastating floods that pummeled the country’s industrial sector last year.

“All nations should cooperate with each other to prevent nuclear terrorism,” she said, days before heading to Seoul to join the summit.

Representatives from 58 nations and four international organizations, including 45 heads of state, will attend the summit.

On Saturday, Yingluck will hold summit talks with President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul for discussions on strengthening bilateral cooperation and exchanges.

U.S. President Barack Obama launched the first summit in Washington two years ago and the Seoul summit is aimed at working out more concrete actions to lock down loose nuclear materials and to address the question of how to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists.

Thailand was severely hit by the months-long floods last year, with many plants in the industrial capital of Bangkok forced to shut down operations.

Yingluck said she has a keen interest in South Korea’s massive project that aims to revitalize the nation’s four major rivers to control flooding and save water.

“During my visit, I hope that South Korea will share its experience and technology on water-management projects,” she said.

In an effort to regain the confidence of foreign investors following the devastating floods, the Thai government cut corporate tax rate this year to 23 percent from 30 percent.

Yingluck said her government will further cut corporate taxes to 20 percent in 2013.
