Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Thursday instructed Thai ambassadors and consul generals to work on forging diplomacy in line with the 20-year national strategy and the Thailand 4.0 economic model.
“We need to keep up with global trends. There have been changes such as the [US] presidential election. We need to stand firm on our ground, whether it be social or to do with the economy. Just don’t make too many demands. We will eventually settle things via talks [with foreign countries],” Prayut said at a press briefing.
Prayut Thursday presided over the three-day annual meeting, which kicked off on Wednesday, with high-ranking diplomats at the Foreign Ministry to deliver policy guidelines and share ideas.
