webfact Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 by TNR Staff THAI Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha this afternoon (Nov. 19) gave a bamboo basket to US Vice President Kamala Harris at the end of the 29th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit to symbolise the passing over of Apec goals to next year’s summit host, Naewna newspaper said. The second day of the summit was a retreat session focusing on “Sustainable trade and investment.” Prayut had told the foreign leaders that trade and investment play an important role in promoting sustainable and inclusive growth across the region and the world with Apec having always supported a multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organisation as its core.

Maybe that is one of the reasons? If it is held in Washington DC then many of the protesters won’t be able to afford to make the trip.

HuskerDo2 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The story doesn't mention that the rest of the participants received very lavish jewelry. Kamala got a bamboo basket. Seems appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
