To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil,

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Thailand presents its highest regards to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Brazil and has the honor of reaffirming Thailand’s steadfast intention to reestablish the warm and cooperative ties that unite our two nations.

Acknowledging the enduring history of bilateral relations established in 1959, Thailand regards recent advancements in Brazil’s internal equilibrium as a promising foundation for renewed collaboration. As both nations confront the complexities of the 21st century, marked by emergent calls for genuine global equity and freedom, our shared aspirations for justice, liberty, and inclusive development take on renewed significance. Thailand is confident that Brazil, as a valued partner, is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in the collective pursuit of a future grounded in dignity and opportunity for all.

In alignment with this vision, Thailand proposes that Her Excellency Phinsuda Chainam, Director-General of the Department of American Affairs, undertake an official visit to Brazil. Such a visit would not only honor the historic relationship between our nations but also symbolize the international community’s capacity to work collectively towards shared objectives that transcend borders. Thailand eagerly anticipates your affirmative response and remains committed to advancing the principles of equality and mutual respect through this engagement.

Sincerely,

Phinsuda Chainam
Director-General
Department of American Affairs
Republic of Thailand

As the local time in Bangkok neared 5 p.m. on May 30, 2005, Director-General Phinsuda Chainam of the Department of American Affairs stepped aboard the chartered Airbus A350-900. The sleek aircraft, part of Thai Airways’ fleet, hummed softly in readiness. She was joined by 42 delegation members, all dressed in traditional Thai attire, their silken fabrics shimmering under the cabin lights. Anticipation filled the air as the delegation prepared for the long journey ahead. Their route would take them first to Charles de Gaulle Airport (Alexander) for refueling, before continuing to Brasília International Airport. By the itinerary, they were expected to arrive in Brazil’s Federal District at approximately 10 a.m. local time on June 1. Behind the scenes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ensured smooth coordination at every step. An encrypted communication line linked them with the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, guaranteeing seamless updates throughout the voyage.

As the airplane lifted into the night sky, its wheels leaving the tarmac behind, every Thai delegation member understood the weight of their mission. Brazil, vast and diverse, stood as one of the few nations still enmeshed in the exploitative structures of the so-called "Free World"—a system shaped to serve the interests of a global elite. Inside the softly humming cabin, Phinsuda gazed through the scattered clouds at the faintly lit landscape below. The darkness seemed to echo her thoughts: the fragile façade of the "Free World" could not endure indefinitely. One day, its collapse would herald a world free from poverty, wage exploitation, and the alienation of labor. This trip, the first by a senior Thai official to the Americas in three years, marked another careful move in the intricate geopolitical strategy Thailand was crafting—one that aimed not merely for national progress, but for the collective liberation of humanity.

After a brief rest, the delegation was gently awakened by the cabin crew announcing their approach to Charles de Gaulle Airport for refueling in a friendly ally’s territory. For the first time during the journey, Phinsuda allowed herself to relax, reassured by the knowledge that they had entered a space where shared humanity and dignity were upheld. The French Government had been notified in advance, ensuring seamless arrangements for the Thai chartered aircraft. While refueling and precautionary inspections were underway, the delegation would ideally wait in a VIP lounge, should the French Government provide one, with the costs covered by the Republic if necessary. A brief meeting with the Thai Ambassador to France, Mr. Tana Weskosith, was planned to exchange courtesies before reboarding the airplane. The next leg of their journey would then take them toward Brasília International Airport.​

To: Phinsuda Chainam, Director-General of the Department of American Affairs, Republic of Thailand Bossza007 From: Celso Amorim, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Federative Republic of Brazil Subject: RE: Confirmation of the Official Visit by the Thai Director-General to Brazil Dear Director-General Chainam, Thank you for the confirmation and the details of your attending delegation. We have made the necessary arrangements and shall greet you shortly Sincerely, Celso Amorim Minister of Foreign Affairs Federative Republic of Brasil

Following confirmation of the upcoming visit, Minister Amorim would inform his team to prepare for the Thai delegation, as he hastily notes down a brief list of points to discuss for the agenda.

The entry of the Thai flight into Brazilian airspace would be identified and tracked by civilian air-traffic control, relaying live updates to the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence.

Nearing the estimated arrival time of delegation at 10am, the Brazilian diplomatic team, led by Minister Anorim, would assemble to great the Thai's. They would be accompanied by a small media team, comprising of the Foreign Office's own media as well as journalists from Agencia Brasil and Agencia Estado.
Behind them, a convoy of SUV's to escort the Brazilian and Thai delegations, supported by a task force of police vehicles.

Once the Thai flight had landed and had proceeded to exit the plane, Minister Anorim and his team would greet them, exchanging handshakes and pleasantries before gesturing to the convoy behind them. The convoy would make their way through the recently refitted airport complex before entering the highway. The 20 minute journey to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would show off Brasilia's modernity and the extent of which it had been a planned city.

The convoy would enter the compound of the Ministry and slowly come to a halt, parking adjacent to the building entrance. Both delegations would exit the convoy as Minister Anorim escorted Director-General Chainam inside and towards their meeting room. The room would have a long table with seats either side. A glass wall would provides views overlooking the lawn of the National Congress Palace. Once everyone was seated, the Minister would stand, 'I am would like to start by welcoming our Thai friends. You have travelled a significant distance to be with us here today. I am sure we will be busy and have much to discuss in finding ways to enhance our relations and international cooperation. Before we get started, can I offer you any refreshments?'

The Thai chartered aircraft touched down smoothly at Brasília International Airport, where arrangements for private accommodation and customs clearance had already been meticulously handled. Administrative and support staff disembarked first, efficiently coordinating with local Brazilian authorities. Moments later, the security detail and official media team followed. Finally, Director Phinsuda emerged alongside her delegation, descending the staircase to the reception from Brazilian Foreign Minister Amorim and his team. Smiling, Phinsuda extended her hand. “Minister Amorim, it’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you for hosting us.” Her tone carried both warmth and professionalism as she joined the Brazilian officials. En route to the Foreign Ministry, the Thai delegation marveled at Brasília’s striking modernist architecture. The interplay of sweeping curves and geometric designs captured their attention as they snapped photos and exchanged enthusiastic comments. One delegate leaned closer to a Brazilian official, if they were in the same vehicle, gesturing toward the towering Palácio do Planalto. “Is this inspired by Niemeyer’s work?” he asked, his voice tinged with curiosity. Laughter and conversation flowed, blending admiration with genuine engagement as the group absorbed the unique charm of the Federal District.

Arriving at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Brasília, the Thai delegation followed local officials with practiced ease into the conference room. The main table, likely unable to accommodate everyone, left some members seated along the walls, quietly observing. Once everyone was settled, the Brazilian Foreign Minister began with a cordial opening address. The Thai delegates listened attentively, their smiles and nods reflecting professional politeness. As refreshments were offered, they expressed interest in sampling Brazilian specialties. Director-General Phinsuda rose to speak, her tone warm yet deliberate. “On behalf of Thailand, I extend our deepest gratitude to the Brazilian government for hosting our high-level delegation. We are confident that stronger cooperation among nations of the Global South will foster mutual prosperity and security.” Her voice became more measured as she continued. “Thailand, alongside its global allies, is committed to a new world order where human dignity, justice, and liberty are central. Through our extensive humanitarian programs, Thailand has maintained its position as a leading global humanitarian force, providing more aid than any other country since 1998.” She paused, her words resonating with intent.

“An equal exchange of goods is a core principle of our envisioned world order. Free trade between nations can only be truly free if it is both fair and sustainable. Thailand proposes an opportunity for Brazil to liberalize trade policies with us by mutually reducing tariffs. In doing so, Brazil would gain access to emerging and developed markets worldwide through our partnerships with France, Spain, and India.” She paused, gesturing to local staff, who distributed a digital link to the Thai export directory on the Brazilian officials’ tablets. “Should you prefer, we can provide traditional documents as well,” she added smoothly. “We invite Brazil to review our export directory and indicate which goods it is interested in importing. Our condition is straightforward: tariffs for these selected goods would be reduced to a universal rate of 5%, while we commit to exporting them at prices 2–10% below market rates. In return, we encourage Brazil to share its export priorities, particularly in raw materials, for which Thailand would eliminate tariffs entirely.” Phinsuda concluded with a confident tone, her words emphasizing mutual gain.

Minister Amorim listened intently to the Director-General's proposal. He gestured to his aid standing behind him to load this link Phinsuda was referring too onto his device, and placed it in front of the Minster.

"My government does support the concept of free trade and is an advocate of trade liberalisation, within reason. We are an export economy, free trade benefits us in many sectors. However, with a rapidly growing yet susceptible industrial sector, we have the duty and need to protect domestic industries.
In the spirit of trade liberalisation, our Ministry of Foreign Trade has already in fact re-evaluated our tariff policies across goods and services to what is understood to be a fairer, more economically beneficial level.
Before I take a look at your export document, I must say that your proposal of reducing tariffs on some good by a further 5% may infringe the Trade Ministry's new tarriffs...but im sure we can come to a positive agreement."

The Minister would pause as he tilted his head to read the document. As he read, the representative from the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade sitting further down the table would pass over a black ring binder with a page midway-through clearly marked. The Minister opened the binder to the marked page, before subtly propping it up as so the delegation sat opposite couldn't see. The page was titled 'Goods of Special Interest: Imports'. The Minister read through the page, cross-referencing it with the Thai Export Directory provided.
Whilst the Minister noticed multiple products that matched both documents, he was noticeably drawn to 'Renewable Energy Components', 'Eco-friendly Materials' and 'Environmental Technology' sections. Almost all products listed within these sections were at least directly or indirectly identified within the Trade Ministry's 'Goods of Special Interest' document.

The Minister spoke up, "My government has ambitious environmental and sustainability targets we want to achieve during this administration. Reading through your directory, it appears both I and the Trade Ministry can agree to the import of almost products explicitly listed under the sections of 'Renewable Energy Components', 'Eco-friendly Materials' and 'Environmental Technology'. Therefore, Im sure we can agree to the import of these goods under your proposed terms "

The Minister then quickly turned a few pages in the propped binder, consulting the information before he continued.

"So you stated you had an interest in importing raw materials. As one of the world's leading exporters in raw materials across numerous products, is there any in particular you're referring to? Our trade representative has kindly put together some information that you may find useful. It refers to products within our market that have the economic viability for us to export."

The Minister took a few pages out the binder. Reaching over the table, he gave it to the Director-General.

The page was titled 'Good of Special Interest: Exports'

Goods of Special Interest: Exports​ Agricultural Products: Soybeans Corn (Maize) Sugar: including raw and refined. Coffee Beef Chicken Orange Juice Cotton Tobacco Cocoa Minerals and Metals: Iron Ore Bauxite Gold Copper Manganese Nickel Tin Zinc Energy Resources: Crude Oil Natural Gas Biofuels - Ethanol primarily derived from sugarcane.

Poultry and Pork Animal Feed Precious and Semi-precious Stones: Diamonds Emeralds Amethysts Topaz Aquamarine Tourmaline Garnet: including Pyrope and Almandine Quartz: including clear quartz, rose quartz and smoky quartz.

Director-General Phinsuda chuckled softly, her expression composed as she listened intently to the Brazilian Foreign Minister. Though her posture remained that of a seasoned diplomat—attentive and engaged—her mind worked quickly, cataloging the nuances of his speech. As the Brazilian delegation outlined their export interests, she nodded respectfully, her measured responses sparking a low, professional exchange among the Thai representatives. The scene subtly underscored Thailand’s deep-rooted commitment to democracy and its hallmark of collective decision-making. When the discussion quieted, Phinsuda turned her focus back to the Brazilian delegation. “Thailand greatly values Brazil’s dedication to free trade, Minister Amorim,” she began, her tone cordial but edged with purpose. “In these times, with debates on alter-globalization and protectionism gaining momentum, we find ourselves at a crossroads as a global community. And yet, when it comes to threats against free trade, we cannot ignore how vehemently the United States—once a champion of the very concept—now denounces it.” She paused, her calm delivery sharpening the irony in her words. “It’s a strange twist of history, isn’t it? The term that helped win them the Cold War now serves as a rallying cry for their disdain.” Her slight smile carried the ease of someone accustomed to calling out hypocrisy, even in the highest circles of power.

“But I digress, don’t I?” she remarked wryly. “I believe there’s been some misunderstanding regarding Thailand’s expectations for our trade agreement, Minister Amorim. If this stems from my inadequate communication of our terms, I sincerely apologize. Thailand is not seeking to reduce existing tariffs by five percent. Rather, we propose a universal tariff rate of five percent on all goods Brazil wishes to import from Thailand. However, if the current rate for specific goods is already below that threshold, we’d be open to negotiating a slightly lower duty, given Brazil’s stated interest in those items.” She paused briefly, her tone warm but precise. “Could you clarify which goods, under the three sections you mentioned from our export directory, Brazil might prefer to exclude? You indicated your government would like to import ‘most’ of it, if I recall correctly.” Her expression softened as she shifted topics. “Thailand greatly respects Brazil’s commitment to environmental and sustainability goals. For our part, we’ve made considerable progress in this area since 1998. Today, Thailand is entirely self-sufficient in energy production, although approximately ten percent still relies on fossil fuels. Eliminating this reliance remains a priority, and we aim to achieve it within this decade.” Her words carried a tone of mutual respect, underscored by quiet pride in Thailand’s accomplishments.

“Regarding Thailand’s import preferences and tariff eliminations, we aim to import all goods categorized as ‘Minerals and Metals’ and ‘Precious and Semi-precious Stones.’ However, I must stress our non-negotiable condition: these goods must adhere to fair labor practices. This includes decent working conditions, fair wages, the prohibition of forced and child labor, the right to unionize, collective bargaining, gender equality, and non-discrimination in all forms.” She paused, her tone measured yet firm. “I’d like to understand whether Brazil is open to ensuring that our trade agreement is both fair and equitable, preventing exploitation on either side?” she inquired.
