なお、国際展示会・国際会議の再開に関する情報を追記しました。
タイ国エネルギー省が協賛するASEAN域内最大規模の「Asean Sustainable Energy Week（アセアン持続可能エネルギー週間）（注１）」の日程がつい最近、9月16日から18日にかけてバンコク都内BITEC展示場で開催されることが決定したようです（注２）。このイベントは、6月11日から13日の予定でしたが、時期を定めず順延となっていました。
同期間中、International Electric Vehicle Technology Conference and Exhibition (iEVTech 2020) & CEO eMobility Forum （国際電気自動車技術展示会・国際会議）もBITEC展示場で開催されます。

海外からタイへの航空機の乗り入れ禁止措置が未だ継続中です。しかも入国者には１４日間の隔離が義務づけられ、いわば鎖国状態のこの時期、海外からも多数の参加者が見込まれる国際イベントにエネルギー省が協賛を出したことは、“開国”も近いと考えて良いのかもしれません。
ASEAN SUSTAINABLE ENERY WEEK, the most largest international exhibition and conference in this region and business fields has decided to hold three days of event at BITEC in Bangkok during September 16 and 18 in collaboration with various Thai government sectors such as: The Ministry of Energy, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).
