PM Yingluck focuses on people in Asia-Pacific development
By English News



BALI, Oct 8 – Thailand has proposed the application of people-oriented principles in developing the Asia-Pacific community and adopting duty-free, quota-free incentives for least developed countries in the region.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra made the proposals at the 21st Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Bali, Indonesia yesterday.

She said APEC should not concentrate merely on trade and investment but should give more emphasis to sustainable development.

Yesterday’s forum was centred on the theme of “Resilient Asia-Pacific, Engine of Global Growth” which included three major issues – attaining the Bogor goals leading to free trade for developed countries in 2010 and developing countries in 2020, sustainable growth with equity and promoting connectivity.

She said APEC has successfully pushed forward the Bogor goals in the last two decades, contributing to economic strength, growth and cooperation in the region and leading to bilateral and multilateral trade agreements among member countries.

However, trade and investment alone would be insufficient for sustainable economic growth and APEC members should give more emphasis to people-centred development, she said.

She said the proposal should be added into APEC’s development projection to lead to harmony among trade, investment and economic growth process and progress on employment, people’s well-being and empowerment of the people and community.

APEC members will today discuss “APEC’s Vision of Connectivity in Evolving Regional and International Architecture.”

Do as I say, not as I do, comes to mind in so many areas that have been ignored in the LOS self proclaimed demoracy.

The 'progress on emprowerment of the people and community' has taken 4severalsteps back after 1 or 2 forward in the past few years.

"She said the proposal should be added into APEC’s development projection to lead to harmony among trade, investment and economic growth process and progress on employment, people’s well-being and empowerment of the people and community".

Excluding foreigners in Thailand of course.

Off topic I know, but will all those whose taste on ladies differs from mine now admit that she looks quite a bit past it in the picture above?

Now on topic. Her hypocrisy is World class. What has she and her camp followers ever done for the rural folk of Thailand?

^{PM Yingluck focuses}

^{Now thats what I call news}

APEC’s Vision of Connectivity in Evolving Regional and International Architecture.”

Say what ?.....where do they come up with this <deleted> ?

Hope she brought her packed lunch. Wouldn't want to have to eat any of that common low-society food that normal foreign people have to eat. But yeah, harmony, community, regional bonding, equality and caring for the poor etc. Marvellous. Lofty ideals are great, and it is a noble thing to work for these things in a sincere and devoted way. But really, this regime is like a theatrical prduction, it all feels so staged and hollow. Even by the low standards of modern politics, the PTP take facade to new heights. I really want to believe them lol. Its just impossible. They don't even believe themselves.
