Gen Prayut issued the call on Friday while meeting Thai ambassadors and consuls-general posted to 98 countries, deputy government spokesman Werachon Sukhontapatipak said. Boosting the economy is one of the government’s major goals, Maj Gen Werachon quoted the premier as saying. The administration has come up with several urgent measures to help low-income earners, farmers and SMEs as well as other short- and long-term measures to strengthen the economy, he told them. The premier also asked the diplomats to help move his government’s economic policies forward to help both small-scale businesses and national economic development, the deputy spokesman said.
