Thailand currently has a caretaker government following a court's dismissal of Srettha Thavisin as Prime Minister last week and his successor, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has yet to name her cabinet.
The summit was scheduled to take place in Bangkok from September 3-4. The BIMSTEC includes Thailand, India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan and its leaders meet every two years for a summit./.
