Ambassador's Lecture Series No. 9

Thailand-Japan Relations:

-Overview of the Current Situation and Prospects for the Future-

Lecture by H.E. Mr. Suvidhya SIMASKUL, Ambassador of Thailand to Japan

This will be the ninth in our very popular Ambassador's Lecture Series, and it's been quite sometime since we last featured a neighboring country. It is widely known that Thailand has long been a friend of Japan, with relations extending back hundreds of years, including the exploits of the legendary Nagamasa Yamada in Siam (as Thailand was then known) in the early 17th Century. Thailand is one of the oldest countries in Southeast Asia with a rich historical tradition and much natural beauty, being a popular destination for tourists. Like Japan, Thailand was never a victim of colonialism. In the modern era, the ties between Thailand and Japan have developed in leaps and bounds, as exemplified by the recently announced conclusion of FTA negotiations. What shall be the next dimension in Thailand-Japan Relations? Ambassador SIMASKUL will provide his insights. It's an opportunity not to be missed!
