In Bangkok on August 6, 2026, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) representative Peter Lan addressed a "Tea & Talk" session at The Bangkok Club with Thai media. Lan, who has held this position since July 2025, highlighted recent Taiwanese investment trends in Thailand, attributing them to shifts in global supply chains, AI advancements, and Thailand’s political stability.
Lan elaborated during the informal get-together that over 200,000 Taiwanese nationals currently reside and work in Thailand, and TECO is actively tackling the issues they face. The representative emphasized that TECO is transparent and open to dialogue, trusting Thailand's decisions on the depth of their engagement. While acknowledging the One China policy, Lan clarified that adhering to it doesn't hinder maintaining practical relations with Taiwan.
He pointed out that despite Taiwan's inability to open an embassy in countries recognizing Beijing, TECO's role is to clarify misconceptions about the potential of cooperation with Taiwan. In his first year in Thailand, Lan encapsulated his overall experience with three words: communication, mutualism, and opportunity.
