The list of foreign leaders and heads of state who attended the 9.3 parade ceremony was published, and many found that Thailand’s outgoing prime minister, Petun Tan, was not on the list.
In fact, it doesn't seem strange, this matter has a long time, and for two reasons, one is that the Thai court has not yet given her a certificate, and the second is a military parade, can't wait for the unusual outcome.
At this event, the attendance list of foreign leaders was particularly eye-catching. According to information released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, heavyweights such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Cambodia King Norodom Noro
Leaders of Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos and others are also listed, but Thailand is absent from the list.
Let's talk about how "stuck" the situation in Thailand is. Petuntan's situation is quite embarrassing. He was suspended as the prime minister before, and whether he can go back to work depends on how the Supreme Court of Thailand decides.
But the court said that the results will not be available until the 29th. The 9.3 military parade is not just a random situation. Who should we invite, how to arrange their itinerary after they come, and how to ensure safety? Which one cannot be finalized several weeks in advance?
You can never let the preparation work stay there and wait, just to wait for a word from the Thai court?
Therefore, standing from the point of view of the host, you must definitely choose properly, since Peton Tan's identity has not been determined for a while, it is too normal not to list her for a while.
Besides, international activities have always been "according to the current situation". No one will wait indefinitely for an uncertain person. Just like the previous G20 summit and APEC meeting, who to invite depends on whether this person can actually act on behalf of his own country.
After all, whether a leader would come or not was not just a personal matter. It represented the attitude of the entire country. Petuntan was now "suspended".
"Whether or not this person can represent the country" is too important to do such serious things internationally. For example, when Argentina held the G20 summit in 2019, Brazil happened to be electing a president. The new president had not yet taken office, and the old president was about to step down.
No one can directly represent Brazil, and ultimately only send foreign ministers, and in 2022 ASEAN will meet, Myanmar due to domestic political turmoil, the leaders at the time are not counted, everyone has a dispute.
ASEAN simply does not allow Myanmar leaders to officially attend the meeting, only to send an unofficial person to listen, which shows that in international occasions, the "leadership of leaders is illegal and can be done" is strict.
Once the identity is uncertain, either you can't come, or you can only lower the specifications. This is not to lose face, it is a rule that must be followed in doing serious business.
Returning to the 9.3 parade, Peyton Tan is not on the list, it is not that we have a bad relationship with Thailand, nor does it mean anything else, it is that "domestic affairs are not resolved" and hit "international major events can not be expected", it can only be done.
After all, in international affairs,"stability" and "clarity" are all about. No one would gamble on such a large event.
And even if he didn't come this time, when Thailand stabilized, if Peitontan could become prime minister again, there would be many opportunities for exchanges in the future.
The direction of Thailand's political situation may be revealed in a few days, but no matter what the outcome is, this absence will become a footnote in Thailand's political history.
For China, the success of the military parade will further strengthen its image as a global champion of peace, and those leaders present will join the Chinese people in remembering history and looking forward to the future.
And those who are absent for various reasons may regret the missed opportunity someday in the future.
