The Ambassador also highlighted the determination to work closely with federal and local authorities to further strengthen the rights, as well as livelihood security and safety of Thai communities in the U.S., as well as to support the Thai communities to organize cultural events to further promoting Thailand in the U.S.

In addition, the Ambassador shared his views that the large amount of investment over $15 billion and job creation from Thai companies in the U.S., together with the growing economy of the U.S., serve as a strong foundation to support Thai communities in the U.S. Furthermore, the Ambassador urged Thai-American citizens to exercise their rights to vote with awareness, in the hope of increasing U.S. representatives that would respond to the interests of the local Thai communities.
