Thailand Successfully Hosts World Bank-IMF Meetings, Plans Bid to Host COP and WUF
Published
The annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), hosted by Thailand, have proceeded smoothly. Mr. Wisut expressed his delight at the success of this event and considered that holding a large-scale global conference of this kind demonstrates Thailand's readiness to take on the role of host.
Following this meeting, Mr. Wisut proposed that the government set a goal of hosting two more major global events: the COP, the conference on climate change, and the WUF, or World Urban Forum, organized by the United Nations. Both forums play a role in shaping global environmental and urban development policies.
The proposal aims to give Thailand a greater role in jointly setting the global agenda on social and environmental issues, particularly matters related to housing, the well-being of people, and the care of the planet. However, no official schedule or procedure for submitting a bid to host has been specified yet.
