On the International Day of Women in Diplomacy, which falls on 24 June every year, I would like to thank all my female colleagues at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, diplomats and friends around the world for their contributions in the promotion of peace, prosperity and sustainable development. Their expertise and active participation in policymaking and diplomacy continue to be crucial and meaningful as we strive to shape a brighter future for all.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand is fully committed to further advancing gender equality, promoting empowerment of women and girls, and supporting women’s continued proactive role in diplomacy and in the implementation of global agendas.
