Bangkok (VNA) – Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul led his cabinet in delivering the new government’s policy statement to the Parliament on September 29, setting out a comprehensive 15-point urgent agenda aimed at immediately addressing the nation’s core challenges.
The PM acknowledged that the government takes office at a moment of "comprehensive uncertainty", spanning economic, social, political, and geopolitical factors which directly impacts national competitiveness.
Given the limited time, the non-discretionary budget, and its standing as a minority government, the administration must urgently address four immediate threats of economy, security, society, and environment based on dual approach of crisis management and establishment of a solid foundation for sustainable development, guided by the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy.
The government also committed to supporting the process of holding a referendum and pursuing constitutional amendments, stressing the need to secure public participation and adhere to the Constitutional Court’s rulings to maintain the integrity of the monarchy-led democratic system.
As the PM, he affirmed that he will pursue every avenue in the government’s administration to solve the country’s problems while laying the foundation for sustainable national development in all dimensions for the well-being and happiness of the Thai people.
The assembly saw a large attendance, with over 393 legislators registered, including 165 Senators and 228 Members of Parliament. The session is scheduled to dedicate 25 hours over two days to the debate./.
