Thai coup leader Prayuth Chan-Ocha has assured Japanese investors of economic stability and believes they won't withdraw from the country, according to a military source.

The source said Prayuth met with a group of Japanese investors to tell them the economy remains stable and can continue being a hub for foreign investors, especially the Japanese, who account for more than 50 percent of Thailand's foreign investment.

"Gen. Prayuth convinced Japanese investors on economic stability and received a positive reaction, so he believed they will not withdraw business from our country," the source said.
