Privy Councilor Chirayu Isarangkun na Ayuthaya emphasised the importance of adaptability in today’s fast-changing world, stating “In today’s ever-changing world, it is not only the rapid technological advancements that require us to adapt and evolve, but also the growing challenges of climate change, which have become increasingly severe. These issues, evident both in Thailand and globally, compel us to adapt and transform effectively to face emergencies—be they economic, political, or environmental—that will impact our lives and businesses in the future.”
Mr. Nithi Patarachoke, Chairman of TMA, highlighted the resilience required to navigate today’s challenges, remarking: “TMA is committed to empowering Thailand’s business sector to advance with resilience and stability, fostering sustainable economic growth amid today’s highly challenging landscape.
