webfact Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 US President Joe Biden speaks at the Global Fund Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York on September 21, 2022. (Photo by MANDEL NGAN / AFP) US President Joe Biden understands the importance of APEC, and both Thailand and the US are coordinating to find a way for the President to attend the leader’s meeting in Bangkok, according to Tanee Sangrat, Spokesperson for Thailand’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, adding that they were informed that there is to be a wedding at the White House in November, around the time of the APEC meeting. The brief statement followed a report by Thai PBS World last night that the US President will not attend the APEC leaders’ meeting in Bangkok due to “a family engagement”, while the Thai embassy in Washington DC was informed that Biden had delegated Vice President Kamala Harris to represent him at the November 18th and 19th meeting. Harris will fly to Bangkok and attend only the two-day summit before returning to the US. The last in-person APEC summit was held in Papua New Guinea in 2018. Then U.S. president Donald Trump did not attend the meeting either and assigned Vice President Mike Pence to represent the U.S. Source: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/us-and-thailand-seeking-a-way-for-biden-to-attend-apec-meeting/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2022-09-26 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

pjmorton Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Everyone's entitled to their opinion. If the U.S. government can find the time to stay in touch with this region despite all the other issues to be dealt with in the next couple of months, then so much the better. When somebody tries to pick a fight, sometimes the commonsense response is not to respond. It won't solve anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
