The Prime Minister will be accompanied by Minister of Transport Suriya Jungrungreangkit, Minister of Industry Pimphattra Wichaikul, Secretary General of the Board of Investment (BOI) Narit Therdsteerasukdi, and the Prime Minister’s Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs Phongsaran Assavachaisophon.
