PM warns opponents not to undo his good work overseas

Deputy government spokesman Lt-General Werachon Sukondhapatipak

 

The government is urging opposition politicians to take into account the national interest when meeting foreign officials overseas.

 

Deputy government spokesman Lt-General Werachon Sukondhapatipak said he was worried that a trip by some Thai politicians to meet European Union (EU) politicians and officials could have a negative impact on Thailand.

 

Werachon said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s government had acted in the national interest by implementing foreign policies that led to foreign countries being more accepting of the Kingdom’s domestic situation.

 

“Our allies, including those in the EU, have reacted positively [to the government’s policies]. At the recent G20 summit, leaders from many countries showed their eagerness to cooperate with Thailand in all aspects, particularly trade and investment, on the basis of mutual respect and benefit, and equality. Things are going well,” Werachon quoted Prayut as saying.

 

The Thai PM recently attended the G20 summit in Japan as chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).

 

“The prime minister stressed that the government and officials in all agencies were working hard on the ongoing negotiations with the EU over a free trade agreement. The talks are going well. Its success will benefit the people and the country,” Werachon said.

 

“But if damage occurs due to the moves by those [opposing] politicians, will they be able to shoulder the responsibility?”

 

The spokesman did not name anyone but he was obviously referring to a small group of Future Forward Party politicians led by Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.

 

According to Future Forward, Thanathorn went to Brussels, Belgium, to meet with some EU politicians and officials. They exchanged views about the state of Thai politics since the March 24 general election and cooperation between Thailand and the EU. They are also said to have discussed the global economy in the face of a trade war between the United States and China.

I'm glad that was cleared up. I thought he was talking about the Deputy PM, with his watches and private jet.

Especially don't undo my good work in Switzerland, Caymans, Panama, Netherlands, and Southern Ireland they are mine???? 

Well the FTA with Vietnam took 20 years to negotiate and finalize. Not sure if there is an incentive for EU to have a FTA with Thailand. After-all I see Australian products in Thailand being very expensive, when the baht is strong how could this be?

 

The country has a habit of big smiles, and large bows, but when it comes to the crunch, they seldom keep their promises.

I suspect due to high profits by Thai importers, Just the same way UK products

are not cheaper even though the Pound has been in free fall.

These are the officials that had photos with the PM in doorways and halls in the area surrounding the conference area? Prayut was basically ignored by anyone with any authority.

A cracking comment there - very good!

It's obvious they're not real ale handles either but keg beer, due to the amount of (hot) air generated by government.

what does that even mean ?

 

is he urging people to hide the truth or not be totally honest about certain things ?

The government want the opposition to take into account national interest, something that they dont do themselves.

The  only thing they are interested in is themselves.

Escape plan ready for when things go bad they can blame the opposotion.

Just more comedy for the real world to laugh at.

Could it be that he may have foreign deposit accounts there?

Obviously the Thai government doesn't think that the rest of the worlds politicians know exactly what is going on in Thailand.  They can see the dictatorship for what it is.

What good work?

Yes, don’t go round telling the outside world we’re not really a democracy. 

 

Scumbags.

He doesn't want opposition members making a fool of him by telling foreign officials about his bizarre interest in fluffy toy machines or him going to Chiang Mai with his leafblower to blow away the smog and smoke or his unnatural obsession with Lamyai's excessive twerking.

They would fall out of their chairs with laughter wondering what sort of clown runs the country.

Cant have people running around telling the truth!!!

Yep.  Got the flash jet ready.

I wonder who got what for the extra 350million baht above market price?

"The government is urging opposition politicians to take into account the national interest when meeting foreign officials overseas."

 

Translated means don't tell the truth about the elections...!!!

Any Thai can go to any other country and say whatever they want. It has nothing to do with Thailand. 

 

Just like the MP who was sent to prison in Australia, remember?

I recall someone in the public eye fleeing to Oz, but don't remember any more after that.

in difficult times the Supreme Leader seeks counsel from trusted friends and renowned experts...

 

 

He's indeed done well overseas - by making sure everybody and their dead donkey knows Thailand is now a country going on full reverse back to stone ages.

Oh I think they have "sussed" that already.

 

A visit to, and discussions with Western Politicians by Thanathorn and others from Future Forward will make things harder when the time comes to move against them...

Pretty hard to "undo" what hasn't been "done".
