On Monday, Phumtham Wechayachai, the deputy leader of the Pheu Thai, disclosed that the formation of a new coalition government will get the backing of elected MPs and appointed senators. This, however, stands on the premise that the Move Forward Party (MFP) would not be part of the new government.

The coalition partners are expected to convene to deliberate on this issue,” Mr Phumtham said. Pheu Thai plans to host a meeting with the MFP and the six other allies…

In the present landscape of Thailand’s industrial growth, there are four standout industries: construction, automobile manufacturing, iron and steel production, and energy generation. Gernot Ringling, the managing director of Messe Dusseldorf Asia, a profound subsidiary based in Germany and renowned as a major trade fair organiser, highlighted these industries at a recent press conference. In Ringling’s view, the current upsurge within these sectors traces back to decisive initiatives undertaken by the government as well as significantly increased private-sector investments.
