Prayut pledges, outlines Thai role in Asean's future master plan

Prime Minister General Prayut Chanocha in his address to the Asean summit in Nay Pyi Taw Wednesday expressed gratitude to leaders of the group for understanding Thailand's domestic political situation.

He also reaffirmed Bangkok’s compliance with all its commitments to the community, offering to take leading roles in Asean tasks.
The premier’s speech highlighted cooperation within the group to enhance regional connectivity, combating transnational crimes, regional economic integration and disaster management.
Asean should have a bright vision for its future after the establishment of the Asean community in 2015, he said, noting that Thailand supported a high level task force to draft the Post2015 Vision and other associated documents.
