H.E. Mr. Phubadi La-or-ngern, Ambassador attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dean of the DVIFA, led a delegation to visit Australia during 16-20 September 2024 to meet with their counterparts in human resource development.

             During the visit, the Thai delegation called on H.E. Ms. Arjaree Sriratanaban, Ambassador of Thailand to Australia to discuss cooperation between the two countries and recent development in the region. The delegation also met with executives, directors and leading experts from (1) Diplomatic Academy, the training arm of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) of Australia, (2) Asia-Pacific Development, Diplomacy & Defence Dialogue (AP4D), a leading Think Tank on multi-sectoral approach to foreign policy making, (3) Australian National University (ANU), a well-known university in Australia, and (4) Australian Public Service Commission (APSC), the federal public service agency responsible for Australian public service’s administration, management and development under Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

             The success of this visit signified yet another important milestone of continued codial ties and partnership between Thailand and Australia in human resource development promotion after their meeting during the 49th International Forum on Diplomatic Training hosted by DVIFA last year.
