Thailand is getting ready to host the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit next year, the first physical meeting since the last one was held in 2018 in Papua New Guinea.
Deputy National Police chief Pol General Wirachai Songmetta has been tasked with overseeing security and traffic matters for the summit, which will be held at the end of 2022.
He said this is the first time that Apec leaders will be meeting in person after four years of absence due to political situations and the pandemic.
He added that he was discussing security policies related to accommodation, transportation and summit venues with relevant agencies. He is also looking into controlling traffic, training officers and ensuring the efficiency of radio communication.
Wirachai also called on the public to cooperate and help the authorities impress summit attendees so Thailand can stand tall on the world stage.
