BANGKOK, 14 August 2011 (NNT) – Ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has offered to help promote the country’s economy as the trade ambassador according to a Pheu Thai Party MP.
Pheu Thai party list MP Thanik Masipitak said Mr.Thaksin had expressed his wish during their meeting in Dubai.
The MP claimed the former premier was very concerned over the plight of the Thai people and would like to utilize his business knowledge and his negotiating skill to help boost foreign investment in the country.
He added that Mr.Thaksin expects to encourage foreign investors to spend 250 billion THB in the short term and one trillion within four years.
Mr.Thanik said Pheu Thai was ready to return justice to Mr.Thaksin and detained red shirt members. However, he denied that the party had planned to offer the former premier political privileges now that his sister Yingluck Shinawatra had become the premier.
The MP insisted that the party simply wanted to disclose the truth and to do away with unjust treatments which have brought difficulties to Thaksin and his supporters over the past years.
