PARIS, Nov 12 (TNA) – Thai Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha attended the inauguration of the Paris Peace Forum and gave three books about His Majesty late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s sufficiency economy to the Library of Peace in Paris.
Gen Prayut attended the commemoration of the centennial of WWI’s Armistice, and opening ceremony of Paris Peace Forum on November 11-12.
The prime minister participated in the inauguration of the Paris Peace Forum at Grande Halle de La Villette Exhibition Centre, presided over by the French President Emmanuel Macron.
On this occasion, the Prime Minister will donate three books to the Library of Peace in Paris. These books have been selected to illustrate the concept of sustainable development which can be achieved through the implementation of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol’s philosophy of “Sufficiency Economy.”
The Commemoration of the Centenary of the Armistice of 1918 and the inauguration of the Paris Peace Forum reflect the French President’s commitment to promote the cause of multilateralism in response to global challenges and crises, thus, paving the way to sustainable peace that transcends conflicts of the past.
The participation in these events is of symbolic importance to Thailand as an independent nation that had bravely fought shoulder to shoulder with allies in World War I and reflects Thailand’s readiness to cooperate and work closely with the French Republic and the international community in building lasting sustainable peace together.
Gen Prayut is expected to return to Thailand this afternoon. (TNA)
