Thailand’s PM Advocates for Digital Security and Regional Cooperation at APEC Summit

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul emphasized the need for strengthened digital security and regional collaboration during the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in South Korea. The event, themed 'Preparing a Future-Ready Asia–Pacific,' brought together leaders to address rapid technological advancements, demographic shifts, and climate change.

Anutin highlighted APEC's role as the driving force behind the region's economic growth over the past 36 years. He proposed three key strategies: fostering regional cooperation and inclusive growth, leading in artificial intelligence, and prioritizing digital transformation. 'It WOULD be meaningless if any nation in the region is left behind,' he asserted, underscoring the importance of equitable progress.

The Thai PM's call to action reflects growing global recognition of digital infrastructure as a cornerstone of economic resilience. While the speech did not directly reference cryptocurrencies, the focus on digital transformation and AI aligns with broader trends in blockchain adoption and fintech innovation across the Asia-Pacific region.
