Poverty and sustainability are two issues that Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha will highlight in his address to the United Nations General Assembly.
During a lunch with Thai reporters at the Government House today, Prayut said the issues fit the situation in Thailand.
Asked if he would include the National Centre for Peace and Order's roadmap in his speech, he said it was not on the agenda. He added that there was no need to elaborate the NCPO’s plans to the international community, as he has never wanted to hold on to power. He also urged all to look back and see improvements in the past year.
"(You know) I'm doing this for whom. My friends now share the difficult time. All ministers did not ask for their seats. I picked them all, inviting the preferrable ones," he said.
He said that he was open for interview requests by foreign media, though he did not know if he would have time to meet them. He insisted that he was never afraid of foreign media.
