Around 90 representatives from other Ministries’ ACC and officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attended the special lecture.

          Dr. Danai Janjaochai stressed that people and national consciousness are important factors in country’s development. Those who can lead to nation’s development consist of 3 groups : Leaders who can inspire and be a role model, Leaders who have ethical courage, able to indicate the righteousness and Leaders who take initiative to volunteer.

1. Sufficiency – the middle path, moderation, no exploitation, no excessive risk, cautious thinking, immunity, risk management, act reasonably.
2. Discipline – accountable for each one’s duties, having professional ethics.
