Government Spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said.
The purpose of the index is to evaluate the readiness of the government’s development in the electronic field which reflects its direction in information technology.
The evaluation of 193 countries that are members of the United Nations is based on three factors -- online services, telecommunication structures and human capital -- and it takes place every two years.
Prayut has expressed his gratitude to the organisations responsible for this progress and believes that it is a result of the government’s country reform plan, Narumon said.
