Thailand's new gov't sworn in

BANGKOK:Thailand's new coalition government of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his cabinet ministers was sworn into office on Wednesday, following the royal endorsement of the new portfolios last week.

The 36-member cabinet under the Bhumjaithai Party-led coalition recited the oath of allegiance before an audience with King Maha Vajiralongkorn in a traditional ceremony held at Dusit Palace in the capital, Bangkok.

Anutin and six deputy prime ministers attended the ceremony, along with other cabinet ministers and their deputies, representing factions of the ruling bloc, which also comprises the Kla Tham, Palang Pracharath, and Ruam Thai Sang Chart parties.

The prime minister later chaired a special cabinet meeting at the government house in the evening and is set to present his policy statement to parliament next week, the final step before the new administration can officially assume office.

Anutin, 59-year-old Bhumjaithai Party leader, was elected the Southeast Asian country's 32nd prime minister after winning a parliamentary vote earlier this month.
