We are excited to welcome Ambassador Thani to Washington on behalf of the U.S. business community. In addition to Royal Thai Embassy and other ASEAN officials, the luncheon will include U.S. government and other key stakeholders. The luncheon will be a unique opportunity to engage Ambassador Thani at the very beginning of his tenure, to underscore the Council's dedication to strengthening the U.S.-Thailand relationship.
