Thailand’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has expressed gratitude to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his congratulations. She also highlighted her desire to strengthen bilateral ties between India and Thailand, focusing on trade, investment, culture, tourism, and people-to-people connections.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been elected as Thailand’s new Prime Minister, becoming the third member of the Shinawatra family to hold the position. She secured the position after the ousting of Srettha Thavisin due to a corruption scandal, and will become the country’s youngest and second female Prime Minister.
Following the removal of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin by Thailand’s constitutional court, the Pheu Thai party has nominated party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra for the prime ministerial post. If elected, she would become Thailand’s second female prime minister and the third member of the Shinawatra family to hold the position.
