On 2 - 3 June 2026, H.E. Mr. Vijavat Isarabhakdi, Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, attended the 5th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) as a panelist in the plenary session on the theme “Towards a More Inclusive Multilateralism: Proposals for Feminist Foreign Policy”’ in Madrid, Kingdom of Spain. In attendance were more than 400 delegates from over 60 countries and organizations. The meeting endorsed the Madrid Political Declaration, which underscores the close link between feminist perspectives, peacebuilding, and democratic resilience.

The Vice Foreign Minister shared Thailand’s vision for revitalizing multilateralism to foster a more trusted, inclusive, and action-oriented system. He proposed three key shifts: (1) a people-centered approach, under which multilateralism must protect and promote human rights in line with international human rights commitments and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); (2) inclusive decision-making, ensuring meaningful representation of women, youth, and people in vulnerable situations in global governance processes; and (3) coherent and action-oriented implementation, translating global commitments into concrete national actions through domestic legislation. He also expressed strong support for the UN80 Initiative as a key opportunity for structural reform to advance a genuinely equal and inclusive multilateral system.

The FFP Ministerial Conference has been held annually since 2022, with Germany, the Netherlands, Mexico, and France serving as previous hosts. Thailand was first invited to participate in the conference at its fourth meeting, held in Paris in 2025.
