Anutin urged the government team to accelerate communication efforts, acknowledging that while achievements exist, the public is unaware. He admitted this is a weakness that can still be improved. He stated there are no signs of a cabinet reshuffle and praised ministers for their spirit and mutual trust in working together.
At 12:30 p.m. on 7 July 2026 at the Government House, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Chanvirakul was interviewed about whether the atmosphere among ministers had become more lively after his encouragement on 6 July for them to speed up publicizing their achievements. He said, “It has always been lively. Whether lively or not, it’s enjoyable because everyone is working fully. In my government, I give everyone the opportunity to speak so the Cabinet can hear what each minister has done over the past week and identify areas where support and cooperation are needed.”
When asked if he gave any special instructions at today’s Cabinet meeting, Anutin said he instructed everyone to communicate their work and achievements widely so the public can be well informed. All ministries are important. When further asked if the evaluation referred to the Pheu Thai Party, Anutin replied, "Yes, we discussed that today. I asked everyone to work together to communicate their ministry’s work to the public as much as possible, and asked the Public Relations Department and government spokesperson team to coordinate with each ministry’s spokesperson to widely disseminate achievements."
When a reporter asked if this emphasis on communication included not only ministers but also government spokespersons, Anutin said, “Yes, the whole team. Much work has been done, producing good results beneficial to the country and the public. This builds trust internationally, yet it remains confined to a small circle. We need to expand it widely, and even better if supported by data and figures to create a digital footprint.”
, When asked if there are signs of a cabinet reshuffle, Anutin answered, “Not yet.” When pressed on the appropriate timing—one year, six months, or four months—Anutin said, “We focus primarily on performance.” Regarding whether the Prime Minister’s performance is measured by media coverage, Anutin said, “It’s not just about media presence. Evaluation includes policy implementation reaching the public. That is the main goal for everyone—how much benefit is delivered.”
When asked if he admits that communication is the government’s weak point, Anutin revealed it is a weakness that can still be improved. When asked, as leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, whether he has assessed if legislators will become ministers, Anutin answered, “This is the executive branch.”
A reporter followed up, asking as party leader if he has observed the performance of MPs, Anutin replied, “MPs are elected by the people. Their evaluation is through elections. If I think they are not working fully as party leader, I tell them to work harder. But we cannot do anything to them because they are representatives of the people.” As for whether they might have the chance to become ministers, it depends on performance, skills, and circumstances. Don’t think too far ahead.” When asked if any ministers will return to being MPs only, Anutin laughed but did not answer.
When asked if this morning’s Cabinet discussions included airing frustrations, Anutin said no. He described the spirit as good. After working together for 2-3 months, trust and familiarity have developed along with mutual respect. He invited Labour Minister Julaphan Amornwiwat to discuss proposals pending Cabinet consideration but not yet finalized, asking if there were urgent matters. Julaphan brought Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Yotsanan Wongsawat and former Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samretwanit. Anutin expressed gladness at seeing them, describing a positive working atmosphere.
