On November 15, 2022, Ms. Nalinee Thavisin, chairman of the Thai Pheu Party’s foreign policy working group, about the upcoming APEC summit on November 17-18 that the government should seize the opportunity as the host of the APEC meeting in their order. to maximize the benefits of Thailand and APEC member countries as follows:
1. APEC Leaders Summit in Bangkok This is seen as a golden opportunity for Thailand to rise on the world stage again after the government neglected to lead Thailand to play a leading role in the international arena, which requires understanding from the direction of international politics. the deep needs of each country and able to connect international relations for benefit in many dimensions If the Thai Pheu Party becomes the government, the Party understands and believes that it will be able to carry out this task as it has shown in the past . When the government of Thailand loved Thai led by Dr. Thaksin Shinawatra as host of the APEC Summit In October 2003, a foreign strategy was used to push for different cooperation. as well as expanding into other collaborations such as ACD and ACMECS.
2. A new economic model called “BCG” (BCG) or Bio-Circular-Green Economy, bio-economy – circular economy – green economy. which is the main theme of the APEC meeting This is a good starting point for Thailand. But Thailand needs more than that. “BCG” can be a big picture of the economy that many countries want to achieve together. But the government should use the APEC forum as a diplomatic opportunity. Show potential as a leader in reconciliation between nations. That will be a big obstacle to achieve the general trade marks of the member countries, such as the conflict between China and the United States, etc. The government should also use this opportunity to build unity with ASEAN and push “Myanmar” to open discussions .in the country stop the violence to build peace in the region Turn the battlefield into a trading market because “peace” is the key to the regional economy. Without peace no economic goal would be unattainable
3. The APEC meeting is an important forum for connecting relations between allies and other countries. The presence of President Xi Jinping at the meeting is very important. including strengthening relations between Thailand and Saudi Arabia But governments should foster international relations that are balanced in the eyes of foreign countries.
The sudden change of the date of the gala dinner to November 17, 2022 caused inconvenience to the leaders and representatives of many countries. The government should be careful not to allow unreasonable control. Turn friends into enemies in this meeting too.
4. As the host of the APEC meeting Thailand should open up to the private sector. especially the APEC CEO Summit and ABAC APEC Business Advisory Council participated in the exchange. Make more comments at the APEC meeting than they do. Because the perspective of the business sector is the perspective of those who have experience in implementing APEC concepts into reality. The government should therefore use the Thai private sector as an important leader in driving Thailand to achieve the main goals of this meeting. For example, the APEC Travel Card concrete project, etc., which can be extended to other benefits. You can get a lot more.
Therefore, I would like to leave these recommendations to the government to decide. plays a role for Thailand to be only an “organizer” or “leader” in this phase of the 2022 APEC Leaders Summit.
