The ambassador and the embassy staff organised an online meeting with Thai volunteers in Sweden.
On 15 February 2023, Ambassador-Designate Arunrung Phothong Humphreys, together with the Embassy staff, organised an online meeting with Thai volunteers in Sweden. These dedicated volunteers come from Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg, Alvhem, Umeå, Örnsköldsvik, Örebro and Tyresö, including the Thai Women in Sweden Empowerment Project (ThaiWISE).The meeting discussed how the Embassy can better cooperate with the volunteers to protect Thai nationals in Sweden, especially berry pickers and Thai women in massage salons, equip them with knowledge about Swedish language and laws, and promote Thai culture and Thai temples in Sweden. There are around 60,000 – 80,000 Thais throughout Sweden, who have long contributed to Swedish society. The Embassy appreciates collaboration from Swedish authorities on the protection of Thai nationals and looks forward to closer cooperation in this regard.
