Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media to extend his Diwali wishes to all Indians, praying for their prosperity and happiness. He also expressed his gratitude towards Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for launching the Amazing Thailand Diwali Festival 2024. This initiative will not only bring India and Thailand closer culturally, but also showcase India's rich spiritual diversity to visitors from all walks of life.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Thai counterpart Paetongtarn Shinawatra met at the East Asia Summit in Vientiane to discuss ways to strengthen their countries' cooperation in various sub-regional and multilateral fora. This marked the first meeting between the two leaders, with Modi congratulating Shinawatra on her assumption of office and discussing India's 'Act East' policy and Indo-Pacific vision. The leaders also exchanged views on regional cooperation through BIMSTEC, highlighting the importance of India's ties with Thailand.
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. BERNAMA, the national news agency of Malaysia, promotes authentic and comprehensive news and information through various platforms, including social media.
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 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.
