Doing it for the children, people and the US

After several reports surfaced in the last year regarding allegations of human trafficking and child labor in Thailand, officials committed to ending the practice in the country's seafood businesses within two years at the Seafoo Expo North America.

Minister Saroj Thanasunti, of the Royal Thai Embassy, said the country's pledge is holding strong and that huge strides are being made to ensure it doesn't happen again.

"Thailand is hard at work to stop human trafficking because we care about our citizen workers and we care deeply about our long standing relationship with the United States," he said.
