PM: Foreign leaders assured of better political situation
Thai PM Prayut Chanocha said Tuesday that he had assured foreign leaders attending the ongoing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in Beijing that the political situation in Thailand has improved and time is needed for national reform.
Prayut was speaking on the sideline of Apec Summit. He said he had met leaders of all 21 APEC members at a dinner reception on Monday evening and they had expressed concern about the situation in Thailand.
Prayut said he told them that his government was carrying out national reform and the process would not take a long time to complete.
“I thanked US President Barack Obama for his concern about Thailand and I told him my government would do its best (for national reform),”Prayut said. “I told Russian President Vladimir Putin that order had been restored in Thailand.”
“I told all the leaders that Thailand was relatively peaceful now,” he said.
The Thai premier said he told all the foreign leaders that the atmosphere for tourism in Thailand had improved and invited people from their countries to visit.
Prayut said the Japanese and Chinese leaders told him that they planned to lift travel advisories for their citizens planning to visit Thailand.
