The cabinet members participating in this regional workshop included several key figures:
- Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport
- Pakorn Nilprabandh, Deputy Prime Minister
- Seasak Phuangketkeow, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
- Yotsanan Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation

Conducting regional workshops with ministers from various portfolios joining the same table reflects an effort to foster cross-ministerial integration for tackling security and economic issues in the southern border provinces and Songkhla-Satun. These areas typically face complex challenges requiring tailored policies distinct from other regions, while engaging local academic institutions helps ensure policies align with grassroots needs.
This workshop marks a crucial step for the government in driving sustainable development policies for the southern region by filtering insights from local operators and government representatives across all relevant sectors.
