Asean defence chiefs congratulate Prawit

By The Nation

 

 

 

Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan has been congratulated by his Asean peers for his appointment as deputy prime minister in the new Cabinet.

 

The Asean defence ministers acknowledged Prawit’s elevation in the Cabinet before he opened the 13th Asean defence ministers meeting (ADMM)in Bangkok.

 

Prawit chaired the meeting in his last duty as defence chief before taking up his position as deputy prime minister.

 

The meeting was attended by defence ministers from Asean nations and the Asean secretary general to discuss security cooperation and to ratify the cooperation framework as well as to discuss preparations for the ADMM-Plus meeting in November.

 

The defence ministers also signed a contract on security cooperation among the 10 Asean nations. The Asean secretary general late announced the outcomes of the meeting.

 

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Prawit said the meeting was successful thanks to the hard work of agencies under the defence ministries of the Asean states and the secretary general.

 

The signing of the contract showed the Asean countries’ commitment to sustainable cooperation in security affairs for the sake of peace, stability and prosperity. The grouping said it would maintain its neutrality.

 

Prawit said the Thai Defence Ministry proposed security cooperation ideas for 2019 under the theme of sustainable security to increase efficiency in security cooperation.

 

Prawit said the meeting also acknowledged the roles of Asean military agencies in tackling illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

 

At the meeting, six contracts were signed on cooperation to combat threats against the region. These comprise an evaluation of ADMM’s initiatives, for the role of Asean military in border management, for the expansion of Asean members to dialogue partners, on the scope of operations for the Asean Our Eyes project, on the establishment of a mechanism for holding Asean military medicine, as well as for a code of conduct on maritime ties.

 

Prawit said the meeting also highlighted the significance of compliance with contracts related to the dispute over the South China Sea and the meeting also highlighted the drafting of the code of conduct for affected countries in the South China Sea. The meeting attached importance to peace and stability and the safety of navigation in the South China Sea and for flights over the disputed zone.

He wasn't elected like his boss, but he can still be deputy!!!

 

Is this allowed under the current constitution? If so, this is all a shambles and the election was a waste of time and money.

 

Same same as before.

Immodium that allowed him to waffle without fear or favour of having to hit the nearest khazi with a flock of starlings from his dodgy back end ..

Well deserved. Plaudits and congratulations all round. Cannot think of a more scrupulously honest, moral and upright Thai citizen (who is even revered and rewarded by the dead). He is a wonderful exemplar of gentle ethicality for all young Thais to follow (look how tenderly he handles female reporters). In fact, he and the entire Ruling Class of Thailand just could not be bettered. They are beyond all conceivable description.

 

Thanathorn? Who needs criminal filth like that when we have Prawit and Prayut in our midst! Certainly not glorious, ethical and upright Thailand!

 

(Sorry - what did you say? Have I been taking my meds ....?!!)

I think he's been taking immodium for the wrong end, ever since he came to dubious prominence.

The Asean defence ministers acknowledged Prawit’s elevation exclaiming how did you get away with it and with someone who's dead ????

To be fair, sometimes you need two heads produce classic comedy. Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Eric & Ernie, The two Ronnie's...

Why end the laughs now?

Because with the aforementioned comics you could turn them off.
The latter are here to stay wanted or not!

The PM's Cabinet (36 members?) is nominated by the elected PM and appointed by royal endorsement.

I'm sure that there are no disagreements before the endorsement ceremony.

However, the House MP's can challenge a cabinet member's performance, call an MP to give testimony before the House and, if necessary, refer the MP to the NACC for investigation of political crimes that could lead to a cabinet member's dismissal.

Why would his "peers" congratulate Prawit on LOSING his Minister of Defense position?

But then it might seem weird to instead congratulate PM Prayut for Prayut's self-appointment as Minster of Defense (maybe Prayut can skip endorsement of the Cabinet as Prayut was already endorsed as PM).

I hate this guy as much as the next man on here, but I have to admit, that's a pretty sweet jet plane he got himself. Congratulations indeed.
