H.E. Kasit Piromya was Thailand’s Minister of Foreign Affairs under Abhisit Vejjajiva’s government from 2008 to 2011. He used to be a Thai diplomat, serving as the ambassador to many countries such as the Federal Republic of Germany, the Russian Federation, the United States and Japan. He is also a politician who was in the Democratic Party before the resignation in 2019. Among Thai political figures, he is one of the most prominent with wide knowledge and experience in both international and political affairs. On this day, H.E. Kasit came to express his opinions and attitudes towards the protests of young generation in Thailand which have been happening as flash mobs almost every day on the street in Bangkok and other provinces.

This event had an honour of Dr. Axel Neubert, Regional Representative of the Hanns Seidel Foundation Thailand/Laos, and Dr. Duc Quang Ly, Project Manager of the CPG to be the interviewers of the interview. Many interesting questions were raised and answered about the future of Thailand’s politics.
