Asiantribune | Thailand's new cabinet led by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was sworn in before the King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Monday.
 King Bhumibol Adulyadej: "If you (ministers) perform well, the country could maintain peace and this would be a blessing for the country. It is what Thai people wish for." |
In a short address to the new cabinet during the ceremony, the 81-year-old King urged the Abhisit cabinet to work to keep the country in peace, as "this is all Thais' wish."
Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Monday asked the new Cabinet to maintain stability and order, which was the wish of every Thai.
In his brief address to the 36-member Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, during a swearing-in ceremony the King said: "If you (ministers) perform well, the country could maintain peace and this would be a blessing for the country. It is what Thai people wish for."
The Thai King said: "If you work well, the country will be in good order and it will be a blessing. If you can ensure happiness and public order, the country will go ahead as wished by all Thais."
The king then went on to say that all Thais wanted to see the country to stay in peace so that they can keep Thainess.
Pledging that he would strictly follow the king's advice, Mr. Abhisit later told journalists that he would try to bring unity back to the people so that Thais and foreigners would have confidence in Thailand but the efforts could "not be achieved without the cooperation of Thais nationwide."
Mr. Abhisit said he and his cabinet wanted to assure everyone that the government would work for the benefit of the people "on the condition that people should help in building (the country)."
