Moreover, the event will also provide side sessions for young global leaders. The World Economic Forum describes itself as an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. The government is confident that this forum will be an important chance to showcase Thailand’s strong economic foundation and business opportunities after its recent economic and political problems.
