Including getting to know in which direction the government is looking at Thai soft power. As a member of the organizing committee If there are any errors We apologize here and will improve in the years to come. 'I would like to thank all the teams, both from the Pheu Thai Party, civil servants from all relevant agencies, the organizing team, who made everything happen. And the most important thing for the Soft Power policy is the cooperation of the private sector. This is the first time in history that we have the private sector take the lead in driving the Soft Power policy, so that Thai soft power can be driven in the best way through the eyes of the private sector. I would like to thank the chairmen of the 11 subcommittees and all the committee members from the bottom of my heart, because while we are building ourselves up and setting up the work system, all of this is volunteer work. Everyone has worked hard, even without any compensation, because we all want to create change in each industry. W e all want to build a strong foundation for Thailand. I would like to ask everyone to follow the next steps of the THACCA policy together,' Ms. Paethongtarn said. Then Dr. Surapong closed the event by saying that soft power is a tool to change the economic structure of Thailand, changing the country's income. It is a big job that takes time, reducing social inequality. Everyone must benefit from this policy. High-level skill training is easier. There will be the largest high-level skills training in history, which is 20,000,000 people. Dr. Suraphong also said that driving soft power will require a major change in the management structure. Both centralized and decentralized Centralization is Centralization of strategic planning Centralize the budget that follows the strategic plan. An Office for the Promotion of Creative Culture has been established, which will be issued as an Act by the middle of 2025.
