PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra expressed her government's commitment to serving the full three-year parliamentary term, seeking robust cooperation from all coalition partners to advance national development policies.
Her administration will prioritize urgent national challenges, including household debt, human resource development, and financial difficulties for SMEs, with policies largely building upon previous government plans but adjusted for current conditions.
The Prime Minister plans to leverage the diverse expertise of her ministers from various parties to effectively address constituent problems and ensure immediate action on government initiatives.
Paetongtarn will periodically assess individual ministers' performance to ensure accountability and progress, also urging them to continue critical unfinished work from the preceding administration, such as economic stimulus and flood relief.
