Her discussion with the youth representatives was centred on 3 key issues, including (1) Good Health & Well-being in Thailand; (2) Health & the Economy; and (3) Multilateralism & Health. In this respect, she highlighted Thailand’s success stories, such as the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) policy, Thailand’s post-COVID-19 economic recovery plan, Thailand’s active role with regard to health cooperation in global multilateral for a and its step-by-step plan to reopen Thailand to foreign tourists.

The virtual dialogue is part of the ASEF Young Leaders Summit, which is being organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) in conjunction with the 13th Asia-Europe Meeting Summit (ASEM 13) to be hosted by Cambodia in November 2021.
