On 26 May 2026, H.E. Mr. Arthayudh Srisamoot, Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, delivered remarks on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, at the inauguration ceremony of the 2nd Chile - ASEAN Business Summit 2026, held at Novotel Bangkok Future Park Rangsit. The event brought together more than 40 delegations of senior representatives and business leaders from Chile and ASEAN Member States.

The Advisor to the Foreign Minister commended the success of the inaugural Chile - ASEAN Business Summit in 2025, which had tangibly strengthened connections between Chilean and ASEAN business communities. He further emphasized that Bangkok’s selection as the host city for the second consecutive year, coupled with hosting the Summit back-to-back with THAIFEX-ANUGA Asia, underscores Thailand’s pivotal role as a gateway to the ASEAN market. It reflects the confidence Chile places in Thailand as a strategic partner in the region.

The Advisor to the Foreign Minister also highlighted the complementary strengths of Thailand, ASEAN, and Chile, particularly in sectors where Chile holds a competitive edge, including frozen and chilled seafood, fresh fruit, wine, and wood pulp — products well suited to meeting the demands of ASEAN’s vast consumer market. He reaffirmed that the Thailand - Chile Free Trade Agreement serves as a vital foundation for deepening economic cooperation between the two sides. Thailand also expressed its support for Chile’s application to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which would mark a significant step toward further strengthening the already close trade relationship and opening new opportunities for the business communities of both sides in the long term.
