I feel honored to be invited as the key note speaker in a program where the Right Hon’ble Prime Minister of Nepal is present as the Chief Guest. I had been eagerly waiting for this event, but I had to cancel the visit because of the recent surge of the pandemic in Bangladesh. Nepal, the daughter of the Himalayas, has got the highest peak on earth and the range of sky-touching mountains have made this country amazingly beautiful. The natural and cultural beauty of Nepal has created a special place in my heart. But unfortunately, I missed out to enjoy the beauty this time.

    New economic team to turn economy around 19 Aug 2015 at 12:22 Somkid Jatusripitak, deputy prime minister, finance minister & commerce minister in Thaksin Shinawatra's government, to head new economic team to turn economy around. Possible digital economy setbacks. ECONOMICS & POLITICS New economic team tipped for cabinet Ministers awaiting royal endorsement 19/08/2015 Post Reporters After Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday submitted a new cabinet list for royal endorsement, it was confirmed that six economic ministers in five ministries are being replaced by a new team led by Somkid Jatusripitak, who will replace MR Pridiyathorn Devakula, say people familiar with the new line-up. Until Gen Prayut declared his intentions last week, speculation had run rife for two months about the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle, ever since the prime minister expressed frustration about slow economic improvement. SOMKID AS DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER It has been widely expected that Mr Somkid, an adviser to the prime minister, would become the new deputy prime minister replacing MR Pridiyathorn. Mr Somkid served as deputy prime minister, finance minister and commerce minister in Thaksin Shinawatra's government. Speculation over Mr Somkid's appointment was strengthened when he resigned as chairman of Saha Pathana Inter- Holding Plc yesterday. The law prohibits ministers from holding positions in any company in order to prevent conflicts of interest. NEW COMMERCE MINISTER A source said Suvit Maesincee, who also resigned yesterday as a board member of Siam Food Products Plc, would replace Deputy Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn, who is now tipped to head the Commerce Ministry.
