The plan to incorporate exercise into the summit was secretly pre-planned after a call from the Thai delegation there. Prayut Chan-o-cha himself leads the weekly Wednesday exercise of his officials at Government House. During a meeting between Prayut and Ghebreyesus at Government House yesterday, Prayut said he was happy that his visitor had adopted similar activities to improve people’s health. Werachon quoted Prayut as telling the WHO chief that Thailand supports his WHO policy in providing universal healthcare among other things. He also expressed hope that WHO would work closely with Thai authorities as set out in the WHO-Royal Thai Government Country Cooperation Strategy.
