Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Dear journalists and colleagues.
Assalamu Alaikum! Good morning!
At the invitation of Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, I visited Thailand on April 24-29, 2024 on a bilateral visit and to attend the 80th session of the UN-ESCAP. Several ministers, state ministers, advisers and senior government officials were my entourage.
Upon my arrival in Bangkok on April 24, 2024, I was greeted at the airport with a red carpet reception, guard of honor and gun salute.
The 80th annual session of UN-ESCAP was held on April 22-26, 2024 in Bangkok. Executive Secretary of the organization invited me to deliver the welcome address at the inaugural function. Being busy in the country, I could not attend it. However, in the opening ceremony, a prerecorded video message of mine was screened on the main theme of the session, ÒLeveraging digital innovation for sustainable development in Asia and the PacificÓ .
In the morning on April 25, I gave a speech on achieving the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals through strengthening cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region at a session of UN-ESCAP.বিস্তারিত
