On 11 June 2026, H.E. Mrs. Pawaree Xuto Chaipatiyut, Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Thailand to the United Nations, made a classroom visit at the World Journalism Preparatory School in Flushing, Queens. The visit was a voluntary activity commemorating the Auspicious Occasion of Her Majesty the Queen’s 4th Cycle Birthday Anniversary.

Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative Pawaree spoke and answered questions from the students about the role of diplomats, Thailand’s priorities at the United Nations, and her own experience in this line of work. The interactive engagement provided an excellent opportunity for local students in New York City to gain a deeper understanding of multilateral diplomacy and Thailand’s role at the United Nations.

The activity was organized in response to an invitation from the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs to join the NYC Junior Ambassadors (NYCJA) programme and honour the connection between New York City and the United Nations as well as to celebrate its role as Host City to the United Nations. This year marks the 11th year of the NYCJA programme.
