PM to British businessmen: Thai politics has stability

BANGKOK, 18 June 2013 (NNT) - Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has confirmed that Thailand has political stability and strong relations with the neighboring countries, which will help strengthen the foundation of the Thai economy and contribute to the growth of ASEAN.

At the annual lecture and dinner of the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand on Monday, Prime Minister Yingluck said the U.K. and Thailand had been good friends for many decades, dating back to the reign of Queen Victoria.

The two countries had recently agreed to hold strategic meetings on promotion of economic growth and employment of Thailand and England, Ms Yingluck said.

The premier assured the BCCT of Thailand’s political stability and good international ties. She said the Thai government was willing to cooperate with the private sector and to continue its support for foreign investment.

Sorry Yingluck but I doubt your wooden acting was good enough that you could lie like that with an absolute straight face.

[bigbamboo]

No mention of 'Buy One Get One' rice then?

[Bagwan]

Being inert and in the gutter can also be considered as a stable state.

Any feedback from BCCT members who were present at the dinner?

Please stop Yingluck as your attempts at public speaking and the subject material is now in the category of Cruel and Unnatural Punishment.

Another journalist who mixes up confirmed with affirmed. You can't confirm anything unless you know it to be 100 % true <deleted>.

I'm so sorry, but just saying it doesn't make it so....!

[NongKhaiKid]

Visiting businessmen, trade delegations etc usually get a briefing at their embassy on arrival but these are people who are on the ground here and are as aware as of any of us as to what's really going on. Just how did they manage to sit through her speech with a straight face ?

I understand that it was a difficult choice for entertainment between Roy Chubby Brown and the PM, but people wanted a lighter mood and a more jokes.

[jalansanitwong]

Atleast the Brits at the business function were still alive. It hasnt been a good week so far.

[WhizBang]

She is really good with the prepared statements/speeches, but comes up somewhat short when it comes to independant thought.

Should have gone for Chubby Brown then.

At least he speaks better English.

Prime Minister Yingluck said the U.K. and Thailand had been good friends for many decades

'You lie us, we lie you, long time na'

[lostmebike]

She said the Thai government was willing to cooperate with the private sector and to continue its support for foreign investment.

But haven't actually got round to it yet 'cause the Somtams not finished!

[chinostar]

She's right! Very stable and most consequent.

[steveromagnino]

She is really good with the prepared statements/speeches, but comes up somewhat short when it comes to independant thought.

really?

the woman who overcomed guests (instead of welcomed), doesn't know how many provinces Thailand has, claims Sydney is a country and says thank you three times instead of thank you thank you thank you. All from prepared statements.....if this means really good, then I am really good three times too.

<deleted>... Did she say this with a straight face? Everyone knows what a farce it is to do business here. You'd have to be seriously over medicated even to consider it.

[ricardofel]

WOW....really, I didn't know that...I thought it was a dysfunctional government.

[drdoom6996]

Don't turn your back British Businessmen. She keeps the knife in her garter.

Yeah, the Thai food was great, but it would have been nice to have some Indian Curry too.

Silly Girl,

Good relationships with Britian going back to Queen Victoria with the exception of the collusion with the Japanese during the second world war. Lets not let the facts get in the eway of a Yingluck fairy tale.

[cabanlit]

So, if over the next couple of years, various exisiting / new delegations of British businessmen are given presentations from those countries making up the AEC - where do we think they'll choose to invest for business?

What do you mean? I'm sure everything her family thinks up for her to say is true, at least the way they look at it it is.
