Supachai urges support for govt’s long-term strategy

Former secretary-general of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Supachai Panitchpakdi said on Monday the government has been doing the right thing in laying out the country’s long-term national strategy and integrating it into social and economic development and regional plans.

Supachai was invited to sit on the government initiated committee on reform, reconciliation, and national strategy or Por Yor Por along with other 38 noted experts in all fields.
Supachai believes that the country must have such a strategy as it is significant to Thailand’s growth and development.
He urged all parties to lend support to the government, whether they agree with it or not.
Asked if the government would be successful in pushing ahead with this strategy, he said it could as nothing is impossible.
