On February 14, 2024, H.E. Mr. Jakkapong Sangmanee, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand, and Dr. Tej Bunnag, the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability Foundation (APCD Foundation), inaugurated BUAKAEW BREW by APCD. It is part of the APCD60+Plus project and represents a Disability-Inclusive Business (DIB) model aimed at implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the Royal Thai Government's Policy.
The initiative focuses on reducing poverty, creating job opportunities for persons with disabilities, generating income, and promoting the social participation of persons with disabilities. It serves as a compelling example for foreign visitors and ambassadors, showcasing the capabilities of persons with disabilities and their equal rights in the workforce.
The BUAKAEW BREW by APCD is also envisioned as a convenient meeting place and co-working space for officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, providing networking and socializing opportunities.
