In large measure this work fell to Thailand, which has traditionally been skilled at playing a buffer role between other powers. So far the Thai government, which is hosting the summit, has played this role extremely effectively and emerged as a successful peacemaker.
這份工作相當程度地落在傳統上擅長扮演強權緩衝角色的泰國肩上，至今作為東道主的泰國政府做得非常勝任，成為成功的和事佬。
