The Thai Ambassador chaired the first ASEAN Pretoria Committee Meeting under the Thai Chairmanship

On 31 July 2023, the Thai Ambassador chaired the first ASEAN Pretoria Committee Meeting under the Thai Chairmanship. During July – December 2023, Thailand chairs the APC which comprises of 7 ASEAN nations (namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Viet Nam and Thailand) that have diplomatic missions in Pretoria. In the Meeting, the Thai Ambassador presented a workplan of activities that will be co-organised by the ASEAN countries’ missions throughout the later half of the year 2023. These activities will not only help strengthen relations between ASEAN and South Africa but also shed light on ASEAN amongst foreign policy decision makers in various aspects including politics, economics, trade, investment and social and cultural cooperation.

Afterwards, the Thai Ambassador together with APC Heads of Mission co-hosted a welcoming luncheon to the newly appointed Ambassador of Viet Nam. On this occasion, Amb. Zodwa Lallie, Acting Deputy Director General of DIRCO and Ms. Sindiswa Mququ, Chief Director of Asia and Middle East, DIRCO, also attended the luncheon.
