The Thai government is preparing to host an international conference on combating online scams in Bangkok in December 2025.

Deputy Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Chettaphan Maksamphan on 14 November chaired a preparatory meeting for the “International Conference on Global Partnership against Online Scams,” attended by representatives from government agencies responsible for preventing and combating online scams. The meeting exchanged information on relevant policies, efforts, and challenges, as well as international cooperation in tackling this problem.

The International Conference on Global Partnership against Online Scams is set to be organized in line with the well-received proposal made by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul during the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Kuala Lumpur for Thailand to host this international conference.

The conference aims to strengthen a coordinated response at the global level to tackle online scams and maintain the momentum of the efforts made in fighting this problem under the relevant international frameworks.

In this connection, Prime Minister Anutin reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to anti-cybercrime operations, saying that he had proposed to host the international meeting to combat cybercrime, with the participation of China, the United States, Canada, South Korea, and Australia.

In his statement at the 47th ASEAN Summit plenary session, the Prime Minister emphasized that the well-being of the people depends on the ability to address new threats affecting daily life, including cybercrime, online scams, and human trafficking. Thailand stands ready to work closely with ASEAN Member States to tackle these shared threats, particularly through the establishment of cooperative networks to strengthen intelligence-sharing and joint operations

During his recent official visit to the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Prime Minister also urged Laos to assign a key agency as a contact point to coordinate with the Royal Thai Police’s International Anti-Scam and Human Trafficking Syndicate Command Center in order to enhance efficiency in prevention and suppression of online scams and human trafficking along the border area.
