AUSTRALIA | Bilateral Meeting under the MoU between the office of the Ombudsman of Thailand and the office of the Ombudsman of Western Australia

In September 2019, a delegation of the office of the Ombudsman of Thailand visited the office of the Ombudsman of Western Australia on the occasion of the offices signing a Memorandum of Understanding on Bilateral Cooperation (MoU). This was the first such agreement for the office of the Ombudsman of Western Australia and the first outside of Asia for the Ombudsman of Thailand. An invitation from the Chief Ombudsman of Thailand for Western Australian Ombudsman and IOI President, Chris Field PSM, to visit Bangkok and attend the 2023 Asia Region Meeting of the IOI and International Seminar proved a propitious occasion for the two offices to undertake a Bilateral Meeting under the MoU.

“The Ombudsman of Thailand and the office of the Ombudsman of Western Australia enjoy a long and rich history of friendship and cooperation which was further strengthened again today. Our friendship as offices mirrors the strong bilateral relationship between Thailand and Australia,” said President Field.
