PM-designate Anutin Charnvirakul announced a Cabinet focused on professionalism, immediate readiness, and unity, aiming to avoid internal divisions seen in past administrations.
He introduced three key 'outsider' appointments: Sihasak Phuangketkeow as foreign minister, Ekniti Nitithanprapas as finance minister, and Atthapol Rerkpiboon as energy minister.
Anutin highlighted Sihasak's international respect and Ekniti's extensive experience in top financial roles to reassure diplomatic, business, and economic communities.
The new administration is open to reviving beneficial public demand-driven schemes, such as the 'Khon La Khrueng' co-payment program, if they prove effective.
