Furthermore, the government is introducing the "Team Thailand Plus" initiative to actively involve the private sector in driving business growth. This policy seeks to create new economic opportunities and secure sustainable benefits for the Thai public and private sectors alike.
This diplomatic mission to Tokyo underscores Thailand's active pursuit of Economic Diplomacy.

The collaborative Team Thailand framework brings together representatives from several key ministries and organizations, including:
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Finance
- Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives
- Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Labour
- Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)
- Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI)
Aside from his official economic agenda, the Prime Minister extended his best wishes and strong encouragement to the Thai athletic delegation participating in the ongoing Asian Games, urging them to bring pride back to the nation.
