I have been waiting for more than 20 years to address you as Prime Minister.
Q: In the press conference, you said peace in the South of Thailand is paramount, by doing all means necessary, what do you mean by that? Q: You mean that you are a newcomer? Do you believe in your ability to convince other leaders? You met with the leaders of Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore and now Thailand. Can they be on the same page on Myanmar?
Q: You brand your government as one of “national unity,” an unlikely coalition of PH and UMNO leading Barisan Nasional and other parties, what’s the main challenge for you as the conductor of this coalition government?
