PM assures Thai new King will carry forward father's legacy

Addressing the TV pool Thursday night after he took part in the ceremony to invite the new King to ascend Throne, Prayut said the strength of the land will prevail in the new King, the beloved son of the late King.
“We all know that to be parted from the person we love and respect is suffering, although the loss and sadness are an undeniable crisis, we should turn this crisis into opportunity and turn grief into the strength of the land,” the prime minister said.
“Although the late King who was the strength of the land is no longer with us physically to protect us, the strength of the land will prevail with the power of faith and confidence in the royal aspiration and approach of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
“His Majesty the new King, the beloved son of the late King, will carry forward His leadership and legacy.”
