Thailand has invited French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Leader’s Meeting (APECLM) in November, Thai PBS World has learned.

 

The invitation is special, because France is a leading member of the European Union and not a member of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). It would be Macron’s first visit to Thailand since he became France’s president in 2017. He is currently serving a second term.

 

Several countries have shown interest in attending the Bangkok APEC leaders’ meeting because it is an opportunity to meet person-to-person for the first time in three years within the APEC framework. The EU, the United Kingdom and India are also countries which Thailand planned to invite, due to their close economic ties with Asia-Pacific nations.

They might have other more pressing concerns at the moment.
