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.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been elected as the country's new prime minister with the support of her powerful family's political connections. This comes after her father's party brokered a coalition to come to power, despite not winning the largest number of seats. The Shinawatra family's involvement in Thai politics has been controversial, with both Thaksin and his sister Yingluck ousted from power in military coups. This latest development raises concerns about political reform and the influence of the military and monarchy in the country's governance.
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.
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.
