The institute announced on its website that the private discussion is part of its Global Leader Briefing Series, and is organised in association with the World Economic Roundtables.

The event is open only to its members.

“While no longer ‘Teflon Thailand’, the country remains a regional and international player. In this private discussion, Thaksin Shinawatra offers his candid insights on the economic, regional, and global implications of Thailand’s complicated relationship with democracy,” it said on the website.

Based in New York, the World Policy Institute says it aims to build a collaborative network focused on developing constructive solutions to global policy challenges.
