Thailand's Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara on Sunday announced his resignation from the ministerial post, the official Thai News Agency (TNA) reported, citing his resignation letter sent to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. The resignation came as Parnpree was removed from his position as Deputy Prime Minister following a reshuffle of several cabinet members in the Srettha government, as endorsed in the Royal Gazette on Sunday. Emphasizing the importance of the Deputy Prime Minister position for Thailand's foreign policy, Parnpree told the TNA that without the dual role, his ability to effectively advance the kingdom's foreign policy interests may be hampered. Traditionally, Thailand's Foreign Minister meanwhile holds the Deputy Prime Minister position, enhancing their stature and facilitating smoother negotiations during overseas engagements, he was quoted as saying. |
