BANGKOK (NNT) - The War Veterans Organization of Thailand is hosting the Veterans Confederation of ASEAN Countries’ working committee meeting, ahead of the confederation’s primary meeting planned for later this year. The meeting aims to strengthen ties and cooperation between veteran organizations in the region.

 

The meeting was hosted by the Veterans Confederation of ASEAN Countries in Pattaya.

 

It was joined by delegates from the confederation’s member organizations from the 10 ASEAN member nations. The meeting was presided over by Gen Santad Nantibhakhirund, director-general of the War Veterans Organization of Thailand Under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King.

 

Key topics at the event included in the ASEAN’s veteran charter and the agenda for the upcoming 34th Executive Board Meeting and the 21st General Assembly scheduled for December.

 

This working committee meeting is intended to further enhance relations between veteran organizations in ASEAN countries, as well as facilitate information exchange among them.

 

Established in 1978 and inaugurated in 1980, the Veterans Confederation promotes cooperation among veteran organizations in ASEAN and bolsters solidarity among related bodies.

I wonder what their attitude, policies, regulations are in terms of ongoing medical services and  support and compensation/pensions for citizens who served in the armed forces either in a war or not in a war?

I imagine giving the vets say 10,000 baht each and a few nights out in Pattaya would be received better
