Seven years towards sustainable development

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - In the past seven years, Thailand has made progress towards sustainable development in all respects, especially improving the people’s quality of life and increasing the country’s competitiveness on the global stage.

 

In May 2014, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) under the leadership of Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha stepped in to restore peace and carry out national reform, aimed at moving the country forward and improving the people’s quality of life in accordance with the 20-Year National Strategy.

 

There were immediate changes, starting with social organization to address the hardships of the people and inequality. To further strengthen the national economy, there were important infrastructure developments, linking rail, land, air, and water transport within the country and with neighboring countries, as well as countries outside the region.

 

The people of Thailand now have a better quality of life, thanks to government policy. The government has improved the quality of life of people living along waterways, addressed informal debt problems, managed flooding and water shortages more effectively, and provided more benefits and welfare, such as universal health coverage and state welfare cards. The government has also initiated the half-half co-payment scheme to help reduce people’s expenses, while ensuring access to medical care for all citizens and increasing living allowances for children, the elderly and the disabled. In addition, government services have become more efficient, allowing the general public to have access to these services more readily and equally.

 

The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project and the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model have contributed to the country’s economic development by creating more jobs, opportunities and income through the land allocation process. Technologies have been adopted to strengthen the agricultural sector, as farmers now have their incomes guaranteed.

Concerning immediate problems, such as natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has received praises from the international country for its prevention and control of COVID-19. The government is now acquiring effective vaccines for all Thai citizens before moving to the next stage of reviving the country.

 

Throughout the past seven years, Thailand has received international recognition for addressing key issues, such as having its red-flag status lifted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), tackling illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and regulating migrant labor. These efforts and developments have improved Thailand’s credibility, making the country one of the top investment destinations. This is an achievement of the government and the people of Thailand.

 

As for the country’s future direction, the government is continuing to fine-tune its social and economic structure by gathering ideas and promoting cooperation between all sides under the Unite Thais, Build Nation project, which will move towards sustainable development that leaves no one behind.

Blimey .. you'd be forgiven for thinking that was written by a full paid up member of the Prayuth and Prawit fan club ..

the lack of mention of the unfolding vaccine fiasco is conspicuous to say the least and best not go near the catastrophic road casualty figures which have certainly not improved the last 7 yrs ..

while the rich, just get richer .

'the Prayuth and Prawit fan club'

 

Are you sure you don't mean the Pinky & Perky fan club?

My immediate thought was it sounds like Squealer addressing the other animals in 'Animal Farm' and convincing them that they are better off, despite their rations being cut. 

This was about the same time as the pigs decided to take all the apples and eggs.

I was about to make a topic on this. Where art thou Steven100? Sort of miss him.

[clivebaxter]

How can a few million unemployed for months be having a better quality of life? This is just an insult for many Thais

Seriously? Leave no one behind except the ones who oppose them. I will refrain from saying my true feelings on this and their malarkey. 

[overt2016]

Seriously! They expect the population to accept this as fact?????

That bit is accurate. Then it rapidly goes downhill...

 

My Chihouhas can lie more convincingly.

Never read so much c##p in my life, absolutely amazing.

Only thing Prayut and cronies have done  is massively improved their bank accounts.

[NaamGin]

Hmm, the march toward sustainable development...

Where have I heard that before?

Oh please stop it

Sustainable PM 2.5 and CO² being produced in Northern Thailand on a sustainable annual basis.

And then they have the sustainable PM 2.5 and CO² every year in Bangkok before the Northern sustainable burning the agricultural fields and forest begins in earnest. 

Excellent job Sustainability Czar. Each year Bangkok's vehicles and Northern Thailand' fires wipe out any and all sustainability gains made in the previous 7 years.
But, "Shhhhh."  Hype and spin, hype and spin.
