Pornchai Suteerakune, Director of the National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) (NIMT), participated as the leader of the Thai delegation at the 41st Asia-Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) General Assembly and Related Activities, from 26 to 28 November 2025 in Incheon, Republic of Korea. The annual event convened leaders and experts from National Metrology Institutes (NMIs), regional metrology organizations, and global partners to discuss key developments and future directions in the international measurement system.<\/p>\n<p>On 26 November 2025, Pol.Lt.Gen. Pornchai attended the APMP Symposium, organized under the theme \u201cThe Future of Metrology and the Challenges for NMIs: Innovation and Sustainability.\u201d The symposium gathered distinguished speakers from the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), APMP, and NMIs worldwide to explore the evolving landscape of metrology, including the redefinition of the International System of Units (SI), the emergence of quantum technologies, and the growing need for sustainability-focused measurement solutions. The discussions provided valuable perspectives to support NIMT\u2019s strategic development and alignment with global metrology trends.<\/p>\n<p>Later on the same day, the NIMT Director took part in the 16th APMP NMI Directors\u2019 Workshop, focused on \u201cSemiconductor Metrology \u2013 Shaping Modern Technology and Supporting APMP\u2019s Collaborative Roadmap.\u201d The workshop emphasized the critical importance of measurement science in semiconductor development, covering topics such as advanced technology nodes, 3D packaging, international traceability, and regional capacity building. Participants also exchanged views on the establishment of the APMP Semiconductor Metrology Focus Group, reflecting strong regional interest in strengthening this strategically important field.<\/p>\n<p>From 27 to 28 November 2025, Pol.Lt.Gen. Pornchai participated in the 41st APMP General Assembly, where member economies reviewed APMP\u2019s progress, discussed strategic and financial matters, and approved work programmes for the upcoming year.<\/p>\n<p>A significant highlight of Thailand\u2019s participation was NIMT\u2019s presentation of its proposal to host the APMP Mid-Year Meetings 2028. The proposal demonstrates Thailand\u2019s readiness to support APMP\u2019s collaborative activities and its commitment to strengthening regional metrology cooperation. Hosting the meetings would provide an opportunity for Thailand to showcase NIMT\u2019s capabilities, expand technical cooperation, and welcome experts from across the Asia\u2013Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>The participation of Pol.Lt.Gen. Pornchai Suteerakune underscores NIMT\u2019s continued commitment to advancing Thailand\u2019s measurement infrastructure and contributing to regional and global metrology efforts. Insights gained from the symposium, workshop, and General Assembly will support NIMT\u2019s mission to enhance national capabilities, promote innovation, and foster international collaboration in key emerging areas such as semiconductor metrology, quantum technologies, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: \u00a9 KRISS<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11503 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/593877024_842541155309792_2383239779015347173_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/en.nimt.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/592259689_842541258643115_8762951012622518809_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pol.Lt.Gen.
