She concluded by encouraging ASEAN to pursue future opportunities while upholding the longstanding ideals and values that have unified its members for nearly sixty years.

The event was also attended by representatives from diplomatic missions, the private sector, and the Thai government, led by Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt.

A group of Thailand-based Filipino teachers concluded the evening with a performance featuring a medley of traditional Filipino dances, including Itik-Itik, Maglalatik, Pandanggo sa Ilaw, Lapay Bantigue, and Tinikling.

The event was organized by C asean, a Thailand-based non-profit organization established in 2013 to promote regional connectivity by connecting the public and private sectors across the region in support of ASEAN Community-building efforts. Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev), a leading beverage producer and distributor in Southeast Asia and one of the largest in Thailand, supports C asean.

Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, Chair of C asean and Chief Executive Officer of ThaiBev, has been actively launching initiatives and projects that enhance collaboration between the private and public sectors on promoting and strengthening the ASEAN Community and creating awareness of ASEAN among the youth.
