Luisa Ragher, Ambassador of the European Union to Thailand, on the occasion of a visit to Bangkok by Dominic Porter, Deputy Managing Director for Asia and the Pacific at the European External Action Service (EEAS).

Mr. Porter was accompanied by Christoph Wiesner, Political Officer for Cambodia and Thailand in the EEAS South-East Asia Division, with Reuters Senior Correspondent Panu Wongcha-um also joining Henning from Bangkok.

Over lunch, the participants exchanged views on current geopolitical and geo-economic developments and discussed their implications for Thailand and the wider region.
