Privy Councilor Chirayu Isarangkun na Ayuthaya emphasised the importance of adaptability in today’s fast-changing world, stating "In today’s ever-changing world, it is not only the rapid technological advancements that require us to adapt and evolve, but also the growing challenges of climate change, which have become increasingly severe.
