Bangkok: Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, presented her vision at the launch of the Young Professionals Program (Pheu Thai YPP), aiming to inspire a new generation to engage with politics in a straightforward manner. She believes this initiative will significantly drive both the Pheu Thai Party and the nation forward.

According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Paethongtarn addressed members of the Pheu Thai Party, emphasizing her dedication and affection for the party. She has gained insights from her experiences with members of parliament and respected party elders, which she intends to use to propel the party to adapt to the current global landscape.

Ms. Paethongtarn highlighted the disconnect between the current generation and politics, acknowledging it as a personal preference. She noted the party’s appeal through its female MPs, who have garnered significant popularity, helping bridge the gap with the younger demographic.

She recounted her involvement with the Pheu Thai Academy, which equips MPs for public engagement and media interactions. Her continued support for ministers and the prime minister underscores her commitment to effectively communicating information to the public.

Ms. Paethongtarn stressed the importance of incorporating new ideas from the younger generation, who might not yet hold political positions. She believes that their creativity and openness will contribute significantly to the country’s future.

As the youngest prime minister in history, Ms. Paethongtarn expressed her determination to engage younger individuals in politics, inspired by the legacy of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, the party’s founder. She underscored the necessity of developing a team for the future, who will collectively work to advance the nation.

The Pheu Thai Party aims to foster a culture of inclusivity, valuing diverse experiences across all ages. Ms. Paethongtarn announced that the project will initially focus on the Bangkok area before expanding further, with the goal of providing a comprehensive political education to the new generation.

She concluded by expressing her strong belief that this initiative will not only cultivate future leaders but also strengthen society, providing hope for a prosperous future.
