In a post on her social media account, newly appointed Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra thanked Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for his congratulatory message on her appointment. She highlighted the longstanding friendship between Thailand and Malaysia, expressing her desire to further advance their partnership and beneficial cooperation. At only 37 years old, Paetongtarn takes office as the country's prime minister after being elected by Parliament and endorsed by King Maha Vajiralongkorn.

In a surprising turn of events, Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been elected as Thailand's new Prime Minister, after months of political turmoil. This comes as a political arrangement brokered by her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, resulted in a coalition led by Paetongtarn's party coming to power. However, her election has also been met with criticism due to the family's controversial history in Thai politics, raising concerns about further consolidation of power in the hands of the Shinawatras.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulates Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra, on becoming Thailand's new prime minister and expresses his eagerness to work with her to further strengthen the ties between the two countries. This comes after her Royal endorsement and election by Parliament following a court decision to remove her predecessor. Under the leadership of another Shinawatra, India and Thailand can expect to build upon their strong foundations of cultural, civilisational and people-to-people ties.
After the dismissal of Srettha Thavisin, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, has become the second female and youngest-ever Prime Minister of Thailand. Shinawatra comes from a family with a rich political background, and her election marks a significant milestone for the country. She ran a successful campaign with promises of improving public transportation, healthcare, and minimum wage.
In a historic move, 37-year-old Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been elected as Thailand's new prime minister, making her the youngest person to hold the position in the country's history. She succeeds Srettha Thavisin, who was removed from office for ethical violations. Paetongtarn, the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is the fourth member of the influential Shinawatra family to become prime minister. With a strong background in politics, she holds several key positions within the Pheu Thai Party and is poised to bring innovation and inclusivity to her new role.
In a closely watched and controversial election, Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been elected as Thailand's newest prime minister, succeeding her father and aunt to continue the political legacy of the Shinawatra family. Despite not being an elected lawmaker, the 37-year-old leader of the ruling Pheu Thai party received a majority of votes in Parliament, following the removal of the previous prime minister over an ethics violation. This election marks the third time a member of the Shinawatra family has held the country's highest office, amidst ongoing tensions and divisions within Thai politics.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra, has been elected as Thailand's new prime minister at the age of 37. She secured the support of 319 lawmakers in the House of Representatives, making her the third member of the influential Shinawatra family to lead the country. However, her victory is overshadowed by concerns of her father's influence and the challenges she will face in handling the country's economic crisis and household debt.
In an upcoming parliamentary vote for a new leader, the daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has announced her candidacy. The move has garnered attention and sparked speculation about the influence of the Shinawatra family in Thai politics, as Thaksin's sister Yingluck Shinawatra was also a former prime minister. The announcement has also brought renewed focus on the ongoing political tensions and power struggle between the pro-Shinawatra and anti-Shinawatra factions in Thailand. With the country in the midst of a political crisis, all eyes will be on this parliamentary race and its potential impact on the future of Thai governance.
The highly influential former Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, has been indicted and granted bail on a charge of defaming the country's monarchy. Thaksin, who was previously ousted in a coup and has been in self-imposed exile, will face the judicial process for a lese majeste case that some analysts see as a warning against his political activities. Thaksin's opponents, who accuse him of corruption and disrespecting the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, view this prosecution as a vindication of their stance.
