I KNOW.

Group Deputy Chairman of King Power – King of Duty Free, former CEO Thai Oil,
commenting on Dr. Surakiart’s management and leadership:
“Surakiart’s
charisma enables him to mobilize people and to mobilize resources to accomplish

show, but in bringing the right people together, being persuasive, and helping
to manage steps toward a broad goal.” | Mr. Maroot
Mrigadat President of PTT Exploration and Production, commenting on
Dr. Surakiart’s skill in conflict resolution: “Surakiart

trust among all parties in dispute to reach a solution." Dr. Prajya
Phinyawat, Senior Executive Vice President, PTT Petrochemicals &
Refining Business Group, commenting on Dr. Surakiart’s leadership, and negotiating
skills; "
Surakiart always looks for opportunities to help and to lead - he has an insatiable
appetite for problem-solving and can quickly see through complex issues and pave
the way toward solutions with the help of others." "
Surakiart's key skill in negotiations is that he listens to other parties' point
of view, and he can be extremely attentive to their concerns without either agreeing
with them or disputing their claims." Prof. Prasit Kovilaikool,
President of Huachiew Chalermprakiet University, Former Dean of Chulalongkorn

transparency as responsibility, and transparency as an instrument to engage citizens,
the ultimate beneficiaries of development." "
Surakiart is a mature intellectual and the right person to assume the post of
UN Secretary-General not for Thailand but for the benefit of the Organization
and the citizens of the world." Prof. Tithiphan Chuerboonchai,
Dean of the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, commenting on Dr. Surakiart’s
