Thailand Raises Concerns Over Ukrainian Food Security Amid Conflict

[webfact]

 

Thailand has voiced concerns about the ongoing disruption of food supply chains due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by spokesman Nikorndej Balandura, highlighted these issues in a recent statement.

 

Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Russ Jalichandra, emphasized the long-lasting repercussions of the war on agricultural land. He pointed out that the degradation of these lands not only affects immediate food production but also threatens long-term food security. "Thailand is exploring ways to support Ukraine in its capacity-building efforts aimed at reviving and restoring agricultural land," he stated in his remarks.

 

Food security emerged as a critical topic at the two-day Global Peace Summit for Ukraine, held at Burgenstock, Switzerland. Leaders and participants from over 90 countries, including Thailand, converged to discuss the key issues brought about by the ongoing conflict. The summit aimed to find collaborative solutions to these pressing concerns, with food security being a significant point of focus.

 

Russ underscored Thailand's support for initiatives that contribute to global food security during crises, explicitly referencing the Black Sea Grain Initiative. This initiative, though disrupted, exemplifies the cooperative efforts needed to maintain global food supplies. Thailand expressed hope for the return of such initiatives or the development of new strategies to restore food security worldwide.

 

The summit also saw participation from representatives of other Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The collective dialogue underscored the global nature of the food security issue and the need for international cooperation to address the challenges posed by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

 

Thailand's proactive stance on the matter marks its commitment to fostering global food security and supporting Ukraine amidst the ongoing challenges. The summit's discussions underscored the collective drive to seek sustainable and collaborative solutions for food security in times of crisis.

Meanwhile, 9% of the world's grain production goes into producing biofuel to satisfy the puritanical climate warriors, instead of using those ghastly carbon-based fuels that feed the plants that create the grain that goes into the production of biofuel. 

 

It's a circular conundrum.

And yet whilst 84 countries signed a joint communiqué at the peace meeting held in Switzerland only 3 countries who sent top level delegates refused to sign it. That could certainly be interpreted as a signal of tacit support for Russia's position. A position condoning Russia's violation of the UN Charter and international law by its invading another country.

 

Thailand was one of those three countries.

Thailand could always do an air drop over Ukraine, I'm sure they'd love some Som Tam, noodles and mango and sticky rice.

You could always buy the 10 year old Thai rice and donate it for free.

Not quite as bad as Gazan food security.

After more than 2.5 years of Russian invasion, Thailand voices "concerns?" Maybe contributing to Ukraine's defense of its ports, grain gathering and shipments would deflate some of those concerns. But Thailand itself appears to be a political hostage that should be a greater concern.

That would require a set of Kahunies.

 Not Thailands business, nor Europes or USAs for that matter.
