According to Mr. President, I was appointed to collaborate with the Thai people to institute the full Democratic system, as to render the sovereignty to the people and to use it as means to achieve peaceful and lasting stability, to meet the international expectation.

Considering the suitability of the national situation and the time limit, the Cabinet would like to present the formal policies to the Parliament and ask for your kind approval, as followed.
