Yotsanan Prepares to Propose Cabinet Collaboration to Overcome Crisis Beyond Politics
At 09:50, before the cabinet meeting, Yotsanan stated that the ministries under Pheu Thai’s oversight—including Higher Education, Agriculture and Cooperatives, Education, Labour, and Social Development and Human Security—are committed to cross-ministry collaboration to deliver tangible results. Facing both energy and climate crises, they are reviewing various projects to address these issues by applying science and technology. Field surveys have been conducted on matters such as fertilizers, biodiesel, vulnerable group welfare, labor care, and school clean air rooms. They aim to jointly develop these initiatives, some of which are already in use to improve problem-solving efforts. Furthermore, there are plans to expand cooperation to other ministries, which will be discussed at the cabinet meeting to run parallel with measures already directed by the Prime Minister. He emphasized that while politics is politics, everyone must work together to tackle these crises.
