EABC – Prime Minister’s Address Luncheon 2026

On 12 June 2026, EABC representatives attended the Prime Minister’s Address Luncheon 2026, “Thailand 2026: A Vision for Competitiveness, Investment, and Future Readiness. From Uncertainty to Confidence: Reform and Resilience in Business”, held at The Athenee Hotel, Bangkok.

In his keynote address, H.E. Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand outlined the Government’s vision to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness through regulatory reform, improved ease of doing business, investment in future industries, workforce development, and deeper integration with the global economy.

A key takeaway from the speech was the emphasis on trust, predictability, and resilience as essential drivers of long-term investment. He also reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to advancing high-standard trade agreements, including the EU–Thailand Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and highlighted Thailand’s OECD accession process as an important catalyst for enhancing regulatory standards, transparency, and international competitiveness.

These initiatives reflect Thailand’s ambition to position itself as a trusted investment destination and a leading gateway connecting ASEAN with global markets.

EABC looks forward to supporting these important initiatives to enhance Thailand’s attractiveness as a destination for trade and investment.
