On behalf of the Thai Government, I am profoundly honoured and most privileged that Your Royal Highness has graciously consented to preside over this Ministerial Regional Forum on Environment and Health in Southeast and East Asian Countries, to deliver a keynote lecture and to chair the scientific segment in which Professor Sir Gordon Conway, Dr. Margaret Ann Liu and Professor Nay Htun will take part in a round table discussion.
The Ministerial Regional Forum on Environment and Health today is organised responding to Your Royal Highness' proposal two years ago at the Scientific Conference on Asia-Pacific Environmental Health held at Chulabhorn Research Institute, that the Thai Government co-host this meeting with WHO and UNEP.
Our beloved and devoted King Bhumibol Adulyadej will be 80 years of age in December this year. In order to celebrate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King's 80th birthday anniversary, an exhibition on His Majesty's contributions to health and environment is organised along with the Ministerial Regional Forum with the pride of all the Thai people. We are proud to present to the world His numerous Royal Initiatives regarding health and environment for the purpose of sharing and learning His Majesty's life long endeavours to bring sustainable happiness to His people that can also benefit the world population.
Today we all have witnessed the fact that even if Thailand has encountered some political crisis recently, but with our strong will power to continue the good cause that has been started to progress and beneficial to the well being of the people in this region and of the world, the Government of Thailand conscientiously shares its responsibility to coorganise this meeting. This Regional Initiative is the first of its kind in the developing world and in the Asia-Pacific region. Its impacts would, of course, be widespread, addressing four out of the eight Millennium Development Goals. Much of the health inputs to MDGs can be provided by addressing environmental risk factors. Thus, health and environment sectors have huge responsibilities in leading our communities in the path of development. Furthermore, the implementation of the plan of actions laid out in Agenda 21 on sustainable development would gather momentum in the region, through this initiative.
Since the capacities of developing countries in the region to deal with environmental health problems are limited, we need to have better intersectoral coordination, especially between the health and environment sectors, in order to develop and implement effective environmental health programmes. Harmonized policy responses need to be formulated for the transboundary environmental risk to health. Consequently, there is the need for an integrated management of health and environmental issues in the region. We hope that today the Ministers from both environment and health agencies of the participating countries will endorse the regional charter on environmental health and agree on priority areas and work plans.
On behalf of the Royal Thai Government, may I again humbly express my deep appreciation to Your Royal Highness for graciously presiding over the opening of the meeting and deliver the keynote lecture. In addition, may I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Nay Htun, Professor Sir Gordon Conway and Dr. Margaret Ann Liu for the scientific round table discussion, and also to Your Excellencies for showing the commitments to carry on the national and regional environmental health responsibility at the best of your capacity. Again I welcome all of you to Thailand and hope that you enjoy a pleasant and comfortable stay in our country.
