Maris: Focus on mutual peaceMaris Sangiampongsa, the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, has emphasised Thailand's role in ensuring peaceful dialogue to help solve the conflict in Myanmar. At the gathering, Mr Maris shared his vision of Thailand's foreign policy under the topic of "Ignite Thailand, Re-ignite Thai Diplomacy". "Our foreign policy on neighbouring countries should focus on mutual peace, which would create a collaborative effort to seek mutual benefits," he added. Additionally, he said Thailand will also focus on an initiative called "Six Countries, One Destination", to bring neighbouring countries to work together on tourism. As such, Thailand can use its soft power policy to create integration and creativity in its tourism promotion efforts with neighbouring countries, which could help keep peace and maintain good relationships.
