On 9 November 2026, H.E. Mr. Vijavat Isarabhakdi, Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, met with Ms. Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director for Normative Support, UN System Coordination and Programme Results of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), on the occasion of her visit to Thailand.

Both sides discussed ways to promote women's rights and gender equality across three levels: domestically, through the National Women’s Development Action Plan (2023-2027) and the Women’s Empowerment and Learning Centres (WE Centres); regionally, within the ASEAN framework through the ASEAN Committee on Women (ACW) and the ASEAN Committee on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC); and internationally, in accordance with obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) as well as the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

On this occasion, the Vice Minister reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) and advancing the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Thailand has formulated its first National Action Plan on WPS (2024–2027) to promote women’s participation in peacebuilding and conflict prevention, particularly at the community level and in conflict-affected areas. Furthermore, Thailand has deployed Thai female personnel to serve in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP).
