On 3 November 2026, H.E. Mr. Sihasak Phuangketkeow, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, participated in the 37th APEC Ministerial Meeting (AMM) which was held in a virtual format. The Meeting was co-chaired by H.E. Mr. Wang Yi, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and H.E. Mr. Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China.

During the Meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister underscored the importance of multilateralism and APEC. He also highlighted Thailand's efforts to promote regional connectivity and support responsible AI adoption, notably through the Bangkok Blueprint for Fraud-Resilient Financial Services, launched during the 2026 IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings, and the Guidance on Anti-Online Scams for APEC, initiated by Thailand. These efforts contribute to building a resilient Asia-Pacific community and to realizing the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040.

On this occasion, H.E. Mrs. Suphajee Suthumpun, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, also delivered remarks, reaffirming Thailand's support for the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) agenda.
