Thailand’s new Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul shared his government’s key plans with parliament on Monday, putting a big focus on reviving the economy as the country faces tough challenges from all sides.
Speaking to the National Assembly, where he also serves as interior minister, Anutin highlighted the uncertainties Thailand is dealing with right now. He promised to tackle urgent issues head-on while building a strong base for long-term growth, according to Xinhua News Agency.
When it comes to the economy, Anutin’s team wants to help people earn more and cut down on everyday living costs. The agenda includes fixing debt problems, encouraging savings, and bringing back tourist trust with better safety steps and homegrown stimulus efforts to boost travel in Thailand.
On national security, the prime minister stressed peaceful solutions to border disputes with Cambodia and a more active role in foreign policy to lift Thailand’s global profile. He shared these ideas during a joint session of parliament.
For social concerns, Anutin committed to cracking down on all illegal gambling, sticking strictly to the rule of law, and taking a hard stand against corruption. His government will also keep a tight watch on spending, ensure transparency, and run things efficiently.
The policy statement touched on environmental goals too, like speeding up early warning systems for disasters in risky areas and pushing for a low-carbon society by backing clean energy projects.
Anutin made sure all these plans fit with Thailand’s national strategy, which calls for fair access to education and healthcare, stronger support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to match global trends, and upgrades to key industries.
Even with a short time in office and a budget handed down from the last government, Anutin’s minority administration vows to push for a public referendum and constitutional changes through open, inclusive talks.
This two-day parliament session wraps up Tuesday and kicks off Anutin’s official leadership. The 59-year-old leader of the Bhumjaithai Party became Thailand’s 32nd prime minister after a parliamentary vote earlier this month.
In a deal with the opposition People’s Party, which backed his win but didn’t join the coalition, Anutin pledged to dissolve the lower house of parliament within four months of starting his term.
