ISLAMABAD: Miss Kamolwan Sriposil, Charge d’Affaires, Royal Thai Embassy has said the concept of self-reliance and sustainability has built a foundation of food security in Thai households. In a world where challenges like food scarcity and climate change are ever-present, these practices remind us of the importance of localized, sustainable solutions that can be applied in our everyday lives.
She expressed these views while speaking on the occasion of a cooking show “From the Embassy’s Garden to the Lunch Table: Let’s Cook Thai Food’, held at the Thai embassy. The show was organized in collaboration between Royal Thai Embassy and World Food Program.
Miss Coco Ushiyama, WFP Country Director and Representative also attended the event.
Miss Kamolwan Sriposil further said, we are not only celebrating Thai cuisine but also highlighting the importance of food security, sustainability, and cultural exchange.
She added the event, titled “From the Embassy’s Garden to the Lunch Table,” represents much more than a cooking demonstration. It is a window into the deep-rooted wisdom of Thai culture-where the garden plays a vital role in daily life.
She further said, in Thailand, many families have embraced the simple yet powerful practice of growing their own vegetables, herbs, and fruits. This tradition ensures that fresh, nutritious ingredients are always within reach. It is a sustainable practice that not only feeds families but also allows them to sell surplus produce in local markets, providing an extra source of income and strengthening the community.
‘Today, we are fortunate to have Chef Haleem with us, who will demonstrate two iconic Thai dishes: Thai Green Curry with chicken and Stir-fried minced beef with holy basil. These dishes not only highlight the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine but also showcase the use of fresh ingredients-such as Thai basil and green chilies-sourced directly from the Embassy’s own garden’.
She also praised efforts of the World Food Program team, whose dedication and hard work have been instrumental in making today’s event a reality. Together, we share a mission of promoting food security, and I am confident that this event will inspire us all to take small steps toward a more sustainable future.
She also highlighted the importance of the Chef’s Manifesto SDG Zero Hunger. This manifesto is a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in achieving a hunger-free world. Food is not just a necessity-it is a universal language, a source of joy, and, above all, a basic human right.
