On 5 March 2026, Mr. Benjamin Sukanjanajtee, Director-General of the Department of Treaties and Legal Affairs, delivered opening remarks at the Governmental Legal Advisors' Roundtable on National Positions on International Law and Cyber Activities: Asia-Pacific Perspectives, which was held at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs co-hosted the Roundtable with the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, University of Exeter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE).

The objective of the Roundtable was to discuss the process of developing national positions on the application, interpretation and amendment of international law in cyberspace for the Asia-Pacific Region. Such efforts are central to demonstrating the role of international law in guiding responsible State behaviour in cyberspace. The Director-General emphasised that national positions on such issues would enhance predictability, transparency and stability in cyberspace, which are crucial to maintaining international peace and security by fostering shared understanding and cooperation among States. The international law experts and academics from countries across the region also joined to exchange views and perspectives, both as representatives of States that have already developed and published their national positions, States currently in the process of developing their positions, and experts involved in preparing practical guidance on the development of national positions.

Thailand developed and published its National Position on the Application of International Law in Cyberspace on 8 July 2025. The next significant step is to promote tangible cyber cooperation, particularly at the regional level, in order to discuss possible common positions for further developing and strengthening the foundations of cybersecurity.
