This exclusive EABC Luncheon Seminar, held alongside the fourth round of EU-Thailand FTA
negotiations, will bring together the Chief Negotiators from Thailand and the EU to share their
views on the state of play of the negotiations.

They will engage in a forward-looking dialogue with participants to discuss progress to date and
hear the perspectives of Thai and EU business on the direction for the FTA negotiation, offering
valuable perspectives on the economic potential this agreement holds for both the EU and
Thailand.

This luncheon will also serve as a platform for Thai and European businesses to engage directly
