October 21, 2026, at 09:30 hours – Mr. Julapun Amornvivat, Minister of Labour, received H.E. Dr. Meshal A M A Almansour, Ambassador of the State of Kuwait to Thailand, who called to pay a courtesy visit and discuss labour cooperation between the two countries. In attendance were Pol. Lt. Col. Wannapong Kotcharak, Permanent Secretary of Labour, Mr. Sakdinart Sontisakyothin, Assistant to the Permanent Secretary of Labour, Mr. Kritsada Tanthoedthit and Ms. Thidarath Yingcharoen, Advisers to the Labour Minister, along with senior Ministry of Labour officials and representatives of the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in Thailand. The occasion took place at the Jatumongkol Room, 6th Floor, Ministry of Labour Building.
Mr. Julapun said that Thailand and Kuwait have enjoyed good diplomatic relations for over 63 years, with Kuwait being one of Thailand’s important partners in the Middle East. The Ministry of Labour therefore attaches great importance to promoting cooperation in employment and skills development to increase opportunities for Thai workers to work abroad lawfully, with appropriate income and welfare, and with fair rights protection.
In the discussions, both parties gave priority to expanding employment opportunities for Thai workers in Kuwait, particularly in occupations in which Thai workers have demonstrated capability, such as traditional Thai massage, welding, pipefitting, hairdressing, and skilled trades, as well as exchanging information on labour demand to develop skills in line with Kuwait’s labour market, and promoting cooperation on rights and welfare protection, so that Thai workers have access to quality employment and occupational security.
