Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will attend the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Manila, the Philippines, from 14 to 18 November 2026, at the invitation of the Philippine President as ASEAN Chair.

At the Summit, the Prime Minister will advance three key priorities to make ASEAN more efficient, better connected and more agile:

Ensuring operational continuity: closer coordination among the past, current and incoming ASEAN Chairs, so that key regional agendas keep moving smoothly.

Expanding intra-ASEAN economic ties: boosting regional trade and investment, reducing trade barriers, and creating more market and supply chain opportunities for Thai businesses.

Enhancing regional agility: a flexible cooperation model that lets ready member states move initiatives forward first, with support mechanisms to help others join later.

The Premier will also take part in summits with dialogue partners, international organizations and the United Nations, to advance cooperation in trade, investment, technology and regional security.

Through these engagements, Thailand aims to strengthen its ties with partners and deliver tangible, long-term benefits for the Thai people.
