webfact Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 by Tanakorn Sangiam BANGKOK (NNT) - Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has taken the position as acting Prime Minister, following the court’s suspension order for Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha to cease duties. The acting Prime Minister today welcomed a Senior Minister from Malaysia, discussing both countries’ cooperation on the development of Thailand’s deep south. Acting Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, serving as chair of the Meeting of the Strategic Committee on Development of the Southern Border Provinces, welcomed a visit from Malaysia’s Senior Minister of the Infrastructure Development Cluster and Minister of Works Fadillah Yusof, for a discussion regarding the developments of Thailand’s southern border provinces. The meeting comprised talks on border trade promotion in Narathiwat province’s Tak Bai and Su-ngai Kolok districts, Sadao district of Songkhla province, and the city district of Satun province; in line with the area’s trade and tourism development targets. Key infrastructure development projects were also on the table at this meeting, including the construction of Kolok river bridges in Tak Bai and Su-ngai Kolok, road construction linking the new Sadao customs checkpoint and Malaysia’s Bukit Kayu Hitam checkpoint, and a study for a new corridor between Satun and Malaysia’s Perlis state. Both sides have agreed to drive forward development campaigns along Thailand-Malaysia borders, for the mutual benefits of both countries. This meeting is considered one of the first duties Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has taken as the acting Prime Minister, following the Constitutional Court’s order to suspend Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha from office. The suspension order was made following the decision from the Constitutional Court to accept a petition to review whether the accumulated time Gen Prayut has spent as Prime Minister has exceeded the 8-year limit.

Srikcir Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Unfortunate timing for Malaysia to have this meeting with Caretaker PM Prawit. The authority of a Thai caretaker unelected PM is very limited, especially when it comes to new foreign policy and commitments. Photo op is the best the Federation of Malaysia can achieve with this meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzaa09 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I imagine that numerous foreign officialdom are having a private muse to what's taking place in Thailand presently. Near to be embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Thailand as a country needs to move on and move forwards in time, the dinosaurs running the country want to move it backwards to the 20th or the 19th century.

Nickelbeer Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just as unelected as the last one. Nice watch collection, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Both Prawit and Prayut should really retire considering their age. Prawit can hardly walk, they were in power because they had previous powerful military positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
