Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs chaired a hybrid meeting the Team Thailand Committee where the Meeting discussed on the implementation of the Masterplan on Foreign Affairs or “5S Strategy” and exchanged views on priorities in foreign affairs for 2022 which can contribute to restoring Thailand's economy and society from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

On 31 January 2022, H.E. Mr. Don Pramudwinai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand, chaired a hybrid meeting of the Overseas State Administration (Team Thailand) Committee, which was well attended by executives of 32 government agencies involved in foreign affairs.

The Committee was established under the Office of the Prime Minister's Regulations on the Overseas State Administration B.E. 2552 and is a key mechanism to steer missions related to foreign affairs of all government agencies, in an integrated way, especially those with offices overseas or "Team Thailand abroad".

The meeting extensively discussed on the implementation of the Masterplan on Foreign Affairs or “5S Strategy” under the National Strategy which aims to achieve five key strategic priorities of diplomacy – Security, Sustainability, Standard, Status, and Synergy. The meeting also discussed the preparation for the first 5-year (2018–2022) evaluation of the Masterplan which will be held at the end of 2022.

In addition, the participants exchanged views on priorities in foreign affairs for 2022 which can contribute to restoring Thailand's economy and society from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as to better cope with the increasingly volatile and complex world caused by major power competition, technological disruption, and climate change. The meeting emphasised the importance of cooperation with foreign countries through various dialogue frameworks, both bilateral and multilateral, especially the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) under Thailand’s Chairmanship this year. Ultimately, this should help restore and lay the foundation for Thailand’s future economic and social development as well as promote cooperation to achieve sustainable development in Thailand.
