BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s new prime minister told lawmakers on Monday that his government would address the country’s economic woes, find solutions to the ongoing border conflict with Cambodia through diplomacy and push for a new and more democratic constitution.
He had promised to call elections in four months in exchange for the People’s Party — which holds the most seats in Parliament — supporting his bid to become prime minister.
Anutin had promised to call a referendum for an elected constituent assembly to draft a new charter.
He said in his inaugural speech in Parliament on Monday that his government will support the referendum and public participation to uphold the country’s constitutional monarchy.
He told lawmakers he will push for a referendum on whether Thailand should revoke the existing memorandum of understanding on border issues with Cambodia.
