PM seeks to put Thailand on the world’s radar at the UNGA
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will leverage the 81st UN General Assembly (UNGA) to significantly raise Thailand's global profile and bolster international confidence.
The visit includes strategic meetings with foreign leaders, private sector representatives, and investors to promote Thailand as a leading distribution hub, production base, and attractive destination for foreign investment.
Anutin is scheduled to deliver Thailand’s national statement on September 24, outlining the country's vision as a regional trade and economic hub, its commitment to energy transition, and its aspiration to join the OECD.
Joining the OECD is expected to substantially enhance Thailand's international recognition and foster greater cooperation with other nations.

China confirms discussions are underway on a historic Xi-Trump-Putin meeting
China's Foreign Ministry officially confirmed ongoing discussions for a historic trilateral meeting between President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The potential summit is planned for this month in Shenzhen, China, coinciding with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders' summit.
Experts are skeptical about substantive outcomes due to the leaders' conflicting interests, suggesting the meeting may primarily serve as a high-profile photo opportunity.
Motivations for the meeting vary: Russia aims for a diplomatic coup, Trump seeks to discuss nuclear arms control, and China desires the image of a major power gathering while carefully managing engagement on contentious issues.
