More than 2,300 journalists from around the world have registered to cover the Asia Pacific Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) in Bangkok on 18th and 19th November, according to a foreign ministry official.

 

The senior official, who asked not to be named, told Thai PBS World that these journalists are from nearly 30 countries. There are 22 economies taking part in the AELM, which will be held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC). Senior officials from member economies have already begun their important deliberations on key outcome documents, ahead of the AELM meeting itself.

 

The largest contingent of foreign journalists is from China,with more than 200 media staff, followed by Japan, with well over 100 journalists. There are fewer than 50 American journalists attending, due to the absence of President Joe Biden. Vice President Kamala Harris is representing him at this important event.

A chance for Prayut to preen his feathers and put on a show. But he is s**t scared protesters will ruin the day for him. 

This is a perfect stage for a protest with 2,300 journalists covering the event. 

Prayut will never be able to control this without force and the world is watching !!!

He's got 40,000 extra police to ensure nobody protests.  Pattaya's entire police force will both be there.
