BANGKOK – On September 12, Thailand’s newly appointed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra emphasized continuity in her government’s policy approach during a speech before Parliament. Her hour-long address highlighted a commitment to maintaining the policy directions of her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, who was ousted by a Constitutional Court ruling on August 14.
Prime Minister Shinawatra’s proposals focused on preserving established handouts and ongoing projects, signaling a steady hand in the country’s governance. This approach aims to reassure both domestic and international observers of the government’s stability and adherence to previously outlined priorities.
