The Department of ASEAN Affairs, under the administration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organized an event to celebrate the 51st anniversary of the establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The event was held on Wednesday (Aug 8th) in the Vithes Samosorn room at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangkok.
The Spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Busadee Santipitak, said this event was organized to raise awareness among young people about the significance of the ASEAN and Thailand's readiness to assume the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2019. A variety of activities, such as raising public awareness about environmental issues, were arranged.
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Don Pramudwinai, presided over the ASEAN flag-hoisting ceremony and the opening ceremony of the ASEAN Day 2018 celebration. The event was attended by ambassadors of the ASEAN member countries to Thailand and senior officials from the ministry.
Another event was the launch of a book titled "Fifty Years of Thailand in the ASEAN". The book is a collection of interviews of Thai diplomats and well- known figures in Thai foreign policy, particularly on the roles and achievements of Thailand in the ASEAN. The book launch was then followed by a seminar on "Thailand's ASEAN Chairmanship: Challenges and Opportunities".
During the ASEAN Day 2018 celebration, students from across the country participated in various events and activities, such as the ASEAN Quiz.
