Today (March 2, 2026) The People's Party made a statement in response to rising tensions in the Middle East, pointing out the government's three key duties of protecting and safeguarding Thailand and its people. According to the statement, the People's Party has been closely monitoring the increasing tensions in the Middle East for the past two days. This crisis has an impact not only on both sides, but also on the safety of citizens in many nations, including Thailand, global economic stability, and long-term peace in the international community.

The People's Party contributes the Thai government in carrying out the following three missions:

1. Prioritize the safety and well-being of Thai citizens.

In this crisis, the most vital mission is to defend Thai people's lives and safety. This should be accomplished by using all diplomatic instruments to closely monitor the situation, give care and protection, and carefully establish evacuation plans for Thai citizens in high-risk locations. Furthermore, the government should work with dialogue partners and commercial airlines to plan emergency travel routes, such as charter flights from domestic airlines and the military. Prepare for emergencies by communicating accurate, transparent, and current information on flight routes, cargo routes, and high-risk areas. Citizens wishing to visit these places may consider postponing their time away until the situation improves.

2. Prepare measures to reduce Thailand's economic damage.

Tensions in the Middle East will likely have an impact on global economic stability and energy prices, thereby affecting Thai individuals' livelihoods through greater living, transportation, and domestic manufacturing costs. The People's Party supports the government to establish comprehensive plans to address the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, particularly proactive assistance for vulnerable groups, strategic energy reserve management, proactive communication to reduce market panic, monitoring the impact on exports, imports, and supply chains in related industries, and allocating budgets to assist businesses and citizens in coping with the immediate situation and building long-term

3. Take part in restoring global order to secure Thailand's security and people's safety in the future.

In an era of highly tense and uncertain geopolitics, it is critical to build a global order based on international standards outlined in the United Nations Charter, with equal respect for all states' sovereignty and territorial integrity. This will be an important pillar in ensuring Thailand's security and the protection of its citizens in the future.

Furthermore Thailand must take a proactive role on regional and international platforms, cooperating with ASEAN member states and other middle powers to jointly call for de-escalation and advocate a ceasefire. This involves supporting bilateral and multilateral negotiation procedures within the framework of international law, as well as establishing a rules-based international order to protect the Thai people from future instability and violence.

The People's Party hopes that the government will take full advantage of both domestic and international measures to assist Thai citizens and mitigate immediate consequences, as well as prepare to build long-term trust between the public and private sectors in the face of significantly increased geopolitical volatility and risks.
