PM is confident Thailand can cope with any global crisis
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul assures the public of Thailand's resilience against global crises, citing robust food and energy security.
He dismisses concerns about food shortages, highlighting Thailand's self-sufficiency as a food-producing nation with a distributed infrastructure, resilient to cyber attacks.
The government is actively diversifying energy sources and implementing tax measures to alleviate energy costs for citizens.
Promoting domestic bio-fuel consumption aims to save significant foreign exchange (up to 100 billion baht annually) and stimulate the agricultural sector.
Thailand is also streamlining processes for foreign investment through 'Thailand Fast Track' and embracing AI to create new job opportunities rather than replacing existing ones.
