On 22 August 2023, H.E. Mr. Don Pramudwinai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand met with the U.S. Congressional delegation, led by Congresswoman Young Kim (R-California), Chairwoman of the U.S. House Subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific, and joined by Congressman Andy Barr (R-Kentucky) and Congresswoman Jasmine Felicia Crockett (D-Texas), during their visit to Thailand on 22 - 23 August 2023, as part of their regional tour.

This visit to Thailand by the U.S. bipartisan Congressional delegation provides an opportunity to the Thai side to strengthen Thailand - U.S. strategic partnership through cooperation with the U.S. legislative branch, which plays an important role in U.S. foreign policy.

During the discussion, both sides underscored the importance of the long-standing alliance and comprehensive cooperation between Thailand and the U.S., as well as the diplomatic relations between the two countries, which mark the 190th anniversary this year. They discussed productively on how to strengthen partnerships in areas of common priorities, such as defence and non-traditional security, two-way economic exchanges and supply chain resilience, as well as promoting people-to-people ties through education and tourism. Both sides also exchanged views on key regional developments and discussed on cooperation under the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), which Thailand will host the next negotiation round of IPEF in Bangkok in September 2023.
 
On this occasion, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs invited the Congressional delegation to join the U.S. - Thai Alliance Caucus, recently established in the U.S. Congress. The Caucus serves as a platform to support Thailand - U.S. cooperation and issues beneficial to the Thai communities in the U.S.

Following the discussion, the U.S. Congressional Delegation attended a Business Roundtable, organised by the Thai Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington. The delegation exchanged views with leading Thai business executives on promoting more trade and investment, including opportunities for Thai businesses in the U.S., as well as potential cooperation on supply chain in critical sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), semi-conductors, and rare minerals.
