BANGKOK (NNT) - 2022 APEC meetings and events are about to take place during the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting next week. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has affirmed that as a co-host, it is ready for the APEC leaders’ week. Bangkok City Hall is also inviting everyone to the APEC 2022 Thailand : Showcase at ICONSIAM.

 

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt presided over the opening of APEC 2022 Thailand : Showcase at ICONSIAM. He was joined by Tanee Sangrat, director-general of the Department of Information, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

The Bangkok governor said the BMA is honored to be a co-host of the 2022 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, an event of global importance. The event also marks Bangkok’s full re-opening after the COVID-19 situation came to pass. Hosting the leaders’ meeting is expected to foster the confidence that investors and the global community have in Thailand.

 

Mr. Chadchart urged everybody in Bangkok to act as good hosts. He said the BMA is responsible for cleanliness and order, and the agency has implemented full efforts for this purpose. Road surfaces in the vicinity of meeting venues have been improved. Decorations were carried out at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center – the main venue for the leaders’ meeting. Joint drills between BMA personnel and security agencies were held to prepare for the mitigation and prevention of disasters. Garbage collectors, cleaners, and janitors have also been trained to help security officials monitor threats or hazards.

Some VIP's need to come for a few days to get done what should have been done long ago .

I hope one day the world ' leaders ' will be replaced with AI .

 

That , at least , would help to eliminate corruption and greed .
