To promote deepened economic engagement, the Prime Minister attended and delivered remarks at Thailand-Australia Investment and Business Partnership Reception in Sydney, an event which provided an opportunity for the private sectors of both countries to connect and build networks for further cooperation. He also visited Canva, a leading Australian technology company. In Canberra, following their bilateral meetings and joint press conference, the Prime Minister, together with accompanying Ministers, joined The Honourable Anthony Albanese MP in meeting with Thai business representatives who participated in an Investors Roundtable held at the Australian Parliament to promote trade and investment opportunities. Senator the Honourable Don Farrell, Minister for Trade and Tourism, also attended the roundtable.

The Prime Minister also delivered a speech during an event at the Lowy Institute in Sydney on “Beyond the Thailand-Australia Bilateral Partnership: Advancing International Order through Regional and Minilateral Cooperation,” highlighting the importance of regional cooperation and flexible partnerships amid uncertainties and changes in the international order.

In addition, Prime Minister Anutin met with members of the Thai community in Australia, listening to their views on the community’s role in promoting people-to-people ties. He expressed his appreciation to the Thai community for its important contribution to fostering mutual understanding and closer relations between Thailand and Australia. In Sydney, the Prime Minister visited Thai Town and Thai-owned businesses in the area, where he was welcomed by The Rt Honourable Clover Moore AO. Lord Mayor of Sydney. In Canberra, the Prime Minister visited Wat Dhammadharo, the first and only Thai Buddhist temple in Canberra, where he planted a Magnolia “Inspiration” tree to commemorate the visit. The temple, which was established more than 30 years ago, has served as an important spiritual and community centre for the Thai community in Australia.
