 Thailand's strategy focuses on promoting regional peace and stability by strengthening ASEAN Centrality and cooperation with external partners.





A second pillar aims to build regional security by addressing human security threats such as online scams, human trafficking, and environmental hazards.


The plan includes driving inclusive economic development through deeper integration, upgraded free trade agreements, and accelerated digital transformation.


As the coordinator for sustainable development, Thailand will champion the transition to sustainability by promoting cooperation on clean energy and green finance.


Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is set to make his international debut by leading the Thai delegation to the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 26–28 October.


The government is positioning the Prime Minister’s trip as a key opportunity to demonstrate Thailand’s strategic leadership. 


Nikorndej Balankura, director-general of the Department of Information and Foreign Ministry spokesperson, on Friday outlined the comprehensive strategy, emphasising the country's intent to act as a "key strategic player" in driving peace, prosperity, and development across the region.


Four Pillars of the ASEAN Agenda



The Ministry’s strategy for the upcoming Summit is anchored on four core principles:


Promoting Peace and Stability: Thailand will work to strengthen ASEAN Centrality and expand cooperation with external partners under the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP).


Building Regional Security: The focus goes beyond traditional defence to human security, covering threats like online scams, human trafficking, haze pollution, epidemics, and natural disasters.


Driving Inclusive Economic Development: Thailand will push for deeper economic integration, seek to upgrade Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), and accelerate digital transformation, including the establishment of a framework for digital economy cooperation within ASEAN.


Transitioning towards Sustainability: In its role as the coordinator for sustainable development, Thailand will champion regional and external cooperation on matters like clean energy transition and green finance.



The agenda is expected to include discussions on pressing regional issues, notably the South China Sea, the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the political crisis in Myanmar. 



As Myanmar's close neighbour, Thailand pledged to play an "active role" in supporting ASEAN mechanisms to advance a resolution, including supporting the continuous and effective work of the ASEAN Special Envoy.


Diplomatic Success on Cambodia Border


The ministry also reported significant diplomatic progress on the sensitive Thai-Cambodia border issues, reaffirming that they remain a matter for bilateral resolution.


Following recent meetings of the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) and the Joint Border Committee (GBC), Nikorndej confirmed four points of tangible success that benefit Thailand:



The withdrawal of heavy weapons from border areas.

The resumption of demining operations.

Enhanced cooperation to suppress transnational crime, specifically targeting online scammers.

Improved management of border areas.



Nikorndej described the successful return of Cambodia to the negotiating table as a "concrete success."


This breakthrough is anticipated to culminate in the signing of a declaration of peace between the two countries during the ASEAN meeting, with the US and Malaysia acting as signing witnesses and observers. 


He stressed that the observers facilitate the bilateral process but do not influence the negotiations.



Furthermore, he clarified that the controversial 1:200,000 map issue was not discussed, with Thailand maintaining its priority on national sovereignty and citizen safety.



Any future border fence construction will occur exclusively within clearly defined Thai territory for security purposes.


Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday night to prepare for the preceding ministerial-level meetings. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who is also the Minister of Interior, is scheduled to make an official visit to Malaysia on 25 October before joining the summit.

 The 72-year old’s border conflict theatrics and peace prize pandering aim to deflect scrutiny from a regime that can now add child sextortion to its list of malign economic interests. Cambodia’s long-time leader Hun Sen may have entered his supposed retirement back in 2023, but he remains the region’s unrivaled master of grand political theater and cunning sleight of hand. This has rarely been more apparent than in the unfolding of the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict in recent months. Back in June, he took a step that effectively reset the optics of the entire dispute. Cambodia’s opposition, which has hammered Hun Sen over the years for being too close to neighboring foreign powers, was forced to fall in line after he released audio of his call with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, directly interfering in Thai domestic affairs and putting the nail in the coffin of her floundering premiership. What began as a liability – accusations of softness toward Thailand – was re...

 And What It Means for Washington’s Indo-Pacific Strategy Chinese President Xi Jinping smiles next to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh, October 2016.  When Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen claimed a landslide victory in the country’s July 29 elections, most international observers quickly denounced the results as rigged. Given that the election has helped consolidate Hun Sen’s 33-year, increasingly authoritarian hold on power, these accusations are troubling. Even more troubling, however, may be Hun Sen’s recent tilt toward China and the increasing local and regional benefits Beijing is receiving from its relationship with Cambodia. For myriad reasons, Washington has long considered Cambodia a strategic lost cause. Yet the country’s Chinese turn should serve as a warning of what China’s growing economic presence, especially in authoritarian countries, will mean for Southeast Asia and Eurasia more broadly. To respond effectively, the United States and its allies n...

 China’s handling of Myanmar’s border incursions and efforts towards the Cambodia-Thai ceasefire stand in stark contrast to the US approach With US President Donald Trump’s unabashed claim of ending eight wars in eight months hogging the limelight, China’s handling of both intrusions along its border with Myanmar and the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute has gone relatively unnoticed. In stark contrast to America’s dramatic and forceful brokering of peace deals, Beijing has adopted a calibrated and generally reactive response to Myanmar’s border intrusions and supports Asean taking the lead on the Cambodia-Thailand border dispute resolution. The Myanmar military has intruded into China on a number of occasions. In August 2009, an artillery shell landed in Yunnan, killing one Chinese and injuring several others; another in January 2013 caused neither death nor injury. A more serious intrusion occurred in March 2015 when a bomb discharged from a Myanmar aircraft killed five Chinese ...
