It also emphasized linking communication efforts from the national level, through ASEAN, to the international arena.
Thailand’s strategic communication is guided by four core principles: Truth-Based, Unity of Message, Legitimacy, and End-State Focus, emphasizing truthfulness, unity, legality under international law, and sustainable peace. Its success depends on strategic leaders prioritizing truth over speed, ensuring unity, aligning words with actions, managing timing effectively, and promoting peaceful solutions to safeguard sovereignty, national security, and lasting peace.
