Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul will represent Thailand at the 68th United Nations General Assembly in New York from tomorrow to October 1.
He will address the Assembly on Thailand's vision of post-2015 global development on behalf of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
Surapong will also meet with the delegations of other countries, organised on the sidelines of the Assembly.
The meetings will cover issues that Asean intends to propose to the UN Secretary General and the US, the Asia Cooperation Dialogue, and the ministerial meeting of the Group of 77 countries.
Bilateral discussions are also scheduled with leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Ecuador, Bhutan and Colombia.
Thailand is seeking their support for its quest to secure non-permanent membership on the United Nations Security Council. Surapong will host a reception on September 30 to campaign for support.
