Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha expressed concern on Tuesday over a possible challenge now posed by the Russia-Ukraine conflict to Thailand’s hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Summit 2022 in November.
“Well, we will see if the planned meeting can still take place and how it will actually be conducted. That will depend on how the Russia-Ukraine conflict situation unfolds,” he said.
Gen Prayut added that Thailand needs to first focus on the organisation of other Apec 2022 meetings earlier in the year.
