Foreign Affairs Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara chairs a meeting of Thai ambassadors and consul generals posted to 97 countries in Bangkok. The annual meeting highlights the need for the envoys to practise proactive diplomacy in an increasingly polarised world. "Thai people are more aware of foreign affairs, so ambassadors and consuls-general must work fast and be more flexible. I've confidence in their knowledge, capabilities and professionalism in driving proactive diplomacy," he said. Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said on Monday overseas commercial counsellors will attend the forum with a Thursday workshop by representatives from the Thai Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Thai Bankers' Association, and the Thai National Shippers Council.
