Play
The National Council for Peace and Order will continue to look after security but will make its work less obtrusive.
Winthai Suvari, deputy NCPO spokesman, said after the NCPO met with the Cabinet for more than six hours yesterday that the situation in the country is generally orderly and there was no sign of political violence or activities that may destabilise the government.
The NCPO will try to engage those who think differently or do not understand the NCPO and the government in a verbal discussion.
Channels will be opened for students and academics to express themselves in a constructive manner and there won’t be a crackdown as long as they harbour good intentions.
The NCPO will continue to follow up on seven areas that touch on the judicial process and social psychology among other security-related issues and help create a suitable environment for the government to run the country and foster national reconciliation and unity.
Activities to promote and protect the royal institution will continue, and preparations for the honouring of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who will turn 60 next April are underway.
Public safety and security will be beefed up within the timeframe of 60 days, especially for tourists.
As for the violence in the three southernmost provinces, a plan to resolve conflicts and develop the area over the next three years is being readied.
The NCPO and the government would seek to hold a shorter meeting at their next monthly consultation, he added.
