Don expects understanding from international community if election delayed

Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai said Wednesday even though the road map for election would be postponed it would not have any effect on stances of international stage towards Thailand.

Earlier this week, members of the junta-appointed National Legislative Assembly (NLA) had suggested it would need at least 15 months to finalise new election laws, thereby pushing the planned polls back to mid-2018.

“They would understand and acknowledge the development of the country. Any changes [of the roadmap] won’t affect their  confidence so it’s not necessary to have official explanation,” he said.
