Dear Minister Rivera,

I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of Thailand, I would like to express our commitment to fostering a friendly and cooperative relationship with Spain. Our two nations share a rich history and culture, and we believe that, by working together, we can achieve great things.

I recently received information from our Foreign Affairs and Trade Commerce Specialist regarding potential areas of investment and collaboration between our countries. Thailand is a leading nation in Southeast Asia with many exciting projects underway, including the Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan in Bangkok Metropolitan Region (Mega Project) and the Double-Track Railway Initiative Projects. These projects have a combined fund of $36 billion and demonstrate Thailand's commitment to modernizing our transportation infrastructure. Spain, with its expertise in renewable energy, technology, fashion, and culinary arts, could offer valuable insights and partnerships that would help take these projects to the next level. Furthermore, we are keen to explore opportunities for collaboration in the tourism and information technology sectors, as well as in the food and beverage industry.

Thailand is excited about the potential for collaboration with Spain, and we believe that by working together, we can create jobs, promote economic growth, and expand our influence in the global market. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter and exploring ways to build a stronger relationship between our two nations.

Nattapong Suwanpakdee, the distinguished Thai Ambassador to Spain, stood before the floor-length mirror in his residence, meticulously adjusting the knot of his silk tie. Today was an important day, one that had the potential to significantly impact the future relationship between Thailand and Spain. A gentle excitement brewed within him, mixing with the anticipation of meeting with Rafaela Lizardo, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Kingdom of Spain. Nattapong knew the importance of this meeting, and he was determined to put forth his best effort to explore areas of investment and collaboration that could create a prosperous future for both nations.

As Nattapong departed his residence, he felt the warm embrace of the Spanish sun on his skin, and the vibrant energy of Madrid buzzed around him. The city's architectural marvels, reminiscent of centuries of history, stood tall and proud, whispering stories of progress and triumph. He took a deep breath and smiled, admiring the beauty of the city that he now called home. The thought of fostering stronger ties between these two incredible countries filled him with a sense of pride and responsibility.
Upon arriving at the Spanish Foreign Ministry, Nattapong marveled at the grandeur of the historic building. Its classical design, adorned with ornate carvings and towering columns, spoke of the rich history and power that it held within its walls. He took a moment to soak in the ambiance before stepping into the cool shade of the entrance hall. The atmosphere inside was charged with importance, the air humming with the murmur of diplomatic discussions and the rustle of papers.

As Nattapong approached the polished reception desk, the receptionist greeted him with a warm, welcoming smile. "Good afternoon, Ambassador Suwanpakdee," she said, her voice melodic and professional. "Deputy Minister Lizardo is expecting you. Please follow me, and I will escort you to the meeting room."

With a grateful nod, Nattapong followed the receptionist down the marble hallway, the echoes of their footsteps reverberating softly. His mind raced with the endless possibilities that lay ahead, as he prepared to discuss renewable energy, technology, fashion, rail and air transport, culinary arts, and other avenues of cooperation between their nations. With every step, he felt an invigorating surge of purpose, knowing that the outcome of this meeting had the potential to alter the course of history for both Thailand and Spain. And with that thought, Nattapong Suwanpakdee, the Thai Ambassador to Spain, steeled himself for the critical conversation that lay ahead.

At the Plaza del Marqués de Salamanca which had been designated the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, activity was booming with staff members from all departments conducting their business within the building. The receptionist made contact with the Thai Ambassador and guided him up to the office of Rafaela Lizardo who had promptly got her office ready for the momentous meeting. It was her first meeting with a foreign diplomat after her recent posting to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and it was a relatively new career path for her after coming from a police officer background, however she had been entrusted by Minister Albert Rivera.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs had invited Salvador Illa who held the title of Minister of Industry and Trade within the Spanish Government. She also invited executives from many leading Spanish companies such as but were not limited to banking giant Banco Santander, leading telecommunications company Telefónica and oil and gas company Repsol, all together 18 companies from across the country had been invited to the meeting. All members took their seat and had been provided with hot and cold refreshments.

"Ambassador, it's a pleasure to host you here at Plaza del Marqués de Salamanca. This is a great opportunity for both of our countries and I have invited executives from many leading Spanish companies across the country to attend here today so that we can strike opportunities for both of our countries to work together in certain fields.

[Ambassador Nattapong's perspective]​

As Ambassador Nattapong Suwanpakdee, I stood before the esteemed representatives of the Kingdom of Spain and my fellow Thai stakeholders, ready to propose a treaty that would solidify our collaboration and partnership for the betterment of both nations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to stand before you today as we embark on an exciting new chapter in the relationship between the Republic of Thailand and the Kingdom of Spain. Our countries share a rich history and culture, and I firmly believe that together, we can achieve remarkable things. With this in mind, I would like to propose the drafting of a treaty that will create a framework for cooperation between our nations across various sectors, further strengthening our ties and promoting shared prosperity."

I continued, detailing the various areas of collaboration outlined in the treaty, emphasizing our mutual interests and the potential benefits for both nations. "This treaty will cover a range of sectors, including transportation infrastructure, renewable energy, technology, tourism, information technology, food and beverage, fashion, and culinary arts. By joining forces, we can pool our resources, expertise, and experience to drive innovation and development in these fields, creating jobs, promoting economic growth, and expanding our influence in the global market."

"As part of the implementation of this treaty, a Joint Committee will be established, comprising representatives from both Thailand and Spain, to oversee the progress of projects and initiatives, identify new areas of cooperation, and resolve any issues that may arise during our partnership. This committee will play a crucial role in ensuring the success and longevity of our collaboration."

I looked around the room, gauging the reactions of the esteemed attendees, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity. "The foundation of this treaty is the shared belief in the power of cooperation and the opportunities it can create for our people. By working together, we can unlock untold potential and forge a lasting partnership that will benefit generations to come. I hope that you will join me in supporting the drafting of this treaty and embark on this journey towards a brighter, more prosperous future for both our nations."

As I concluded my speech, the room was filled with a sense of optimism and determination. It was clear that we all shared a common goal: to create a lasting partnership between the Republic of Thailand and the Kingdom of Spain, fostering collaboration, innovation, and progress for the benefit of our people and the world at large.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs listened to the Ambassador speak as he pitched his ideas to the group in the meeting room. It was certainly an interesting proposal that could benefit both countries for years to come and the Minister was optimistic that she could strike a deal that would bring economic growth to both countries and create thousands of jobs for civilians in both countries. The Deputy Minister took a keen interest in the project and stood up from her chair as she spoke into her microphone.

"Ambassador Nattapong, you are an extremely persuasive diplomat and your country is lucky to have you represent their interests abroad. You would make an excellent member of a future government within your country or even as a future Prime Minister. We are excited for the growth that may occur between Spain and Thailand and I know the many benefits it'll bring both of our countries. I have taken a keen interest in observing the new developments occurring in Bangkok and the wider area. I know that the wider Spanish Government will be supportive of a treaty and establishing framework that will allow our countries to cooperate in many areas to come. I know that a few attendees that have been invited here today have a few questions so I will open the floor to them so that they can gather information for their own respective organisations."​

​

With that being said, the Deputy Minister sat back down and allowed the group to confer with the first executive to stand up. It was Chief Executive Officer Andrés Arizkorreta of Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles who was excited to pitch the services of his company. Spain was notable for its incredible rail infrastructure and it was an excellent manufacturer of trains which operated across the European continent.

"Ambassador Nattapong, my name is Andrés Arizkorreta but you can call me Andrés and I work at Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles and I have undertaken and observed recent social media posts from your country regarding the recent rail development projects your country is constructing. Thailand is soon to have one of the most modern rail systems in Asia and if not, the world. My company is renowned for producing excellent, modern and well maintained railway equipment including passenger and freight trains. I would like to offer the services of my company to outfit your new railway system with highly advanced trains that will bring a boost to the Thai economy and create thousands of jobs. I can have my advisors fly out to Bangkok so that we can begin researching what trains would be best fitted for operating in your new railway infrastructure projects. Your new project is an amazing project that my company would be absolutely delighted to be apart of."​

​

He returned to the confines of his seat and took a sip from the glass of water which rested next to his notepad and pen. He was excited and confident that he could strike the best deal to bring growth and the best deal for all parties involved. He was ready to listen to the Ambassador's response and all parties involved were taking down notes.

It was evident that Spain had a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, which could be invaluable in helping Thailand modernize its railway infrastructure. The Ambassador considered the proposal carefully, recognizing the potential for collaboration, growth, and job creation that such a partnership could foster.

"Thank you, Andrés, and to all the esteemed representatives who have shared their insights and proposals today. It is truly inspiring to see the enthusiasm and dedication you all have for your respective industries and for the potential collaboration between our two nations."

He continued, his voice steady and determined, "I believe that by combining the expertise of Spanish companies, such as Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, with the ambitious projects underway in Thailand, we can create a thriving partnership that will benefit both our countries and our citizens.

The executives from the Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles outfit listened closely to the Ambassador, taking down notes so they could brief the company upon their return to the company headquarters. It was certainly a meeting filled with passion amongst the delegates, diplomats and ministers involved and it was going to continue like that until the close of business. The ministers involved also took notes so that they could file inter-government department reports which were an important necessity so that they could visit certain topics months and years down the line. Upon the conclusion of the Ambassador finishing his remarks, Andrés Arizkorreta returned to his feet as he faced the delegates, diplomats and ministers in the room.

"Mister Ambassador, thank you for your response. Our company has been evaluating your railway infrastructure projects and the company has evaluated that we can provide a high quality and modern fleet which will be able to operate on the new Thai railway system. We have a wide portfolio of high-speed electric multiple unit trains, We also have a portfolio of local suburban and metro units which are sleek and modern. We can also outfit a future tram system with our high quality trams if this is something that the Thai government decides to pursue in the future."​

​

Andrés returned to the confines of his seat, the delegates involved were intrigued on how the remainder of the meeting was going to go. The energy in the room was unmatched with each company discussing amongst themselves how their pitches were going to go if they were to set up a pitch. The room was still full of executives from the renewable energy, technology, fashion, air transport and culinary arts sectors.
