PM vows to resolve current national crisis

BANGKOK, 2 May 2010 (NNT) – The government is aware of the current national problem and is striving to consistently tackle the unresolved crisis, according to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Speaking his weekly talk show on Sunday, PM Abhisit expressed thanks to all Thais for their encouragement and recommendations in the government’s operations to resolve the ongoing political problem. He, however, insisted that the government’s Center for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) has been working on security measures and policies to handle the anti-government rallies in Bangkok and other parts of the nation, especially the blockage of mass mobilization, misinformation propagation and the facilitatation for the security forces into the targetted zones.

He admitted that the government will execute tasks in a cautious manner despite the fact that it might be risky for causing losses or confrontation between security forces and the anti-government group.

The government will consult the army about the imposition of martial law in limited areas if necessary, said PM Abhisit, adding that the matter will be discussed at today’s special cabinet meeting.
