Thai PM Yingluck declines media questions
BANGKOK, Aug 22 - Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday declined to answer today's doorstep media questions saying some issues were merely created for politically-motivated purposes.
The Thai premier's latest move came as she refused to answer media questions but instead posted messages gathering her comments on her Facebook social network page stating that many issues have been raised to inappropriately draw attention to or distort facts.
She said in her Facebook page that the government has three urgent missions to accomplish, including relieving and resolving problems related to natural disasters--floods, as well as problems concerning domestic and impacts from the global economy.
The government needs to speed up its work, while the state policy will be delivered to Parliament on Tuesday, according to the message she posted.
Meanwhile, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun and Chinese ambassador to Thailand Guan Mu on Tuesday paid a courtesy call to Ms Yingluck at Government House to congratulate her assuming the premiership.
The Chinese envoy also presented a congratulatory note from Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao to the Thai premier, saying Thailand is an important country in ASEAN and has a long-established cordial relationship with China.
The note stated that Thai-Chinese relations have also stepped forward with cooperation expanded in every aspect and hopes that both countries will remain and foster the ties.
The Chinese premier also invited Ms Yingluck to attend the 8th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) to be held October 21 in the South China city of Nanning.
The Thai premier expressed gratitude for the congratulatory message and pledged to continue the ties between the two countries, as well as inviting the Chinese premier to visit Thailand. (MCOT online news)
