Sutin" declined to answer about the ministerial position, would rather talk about the people's affairs, otherwise he would be accused of thinking only about positions, admitted that he was still interested in the Defense Ministry, revealed that the "military list" would be prepared before the new cabinet, the deadline must be completed by 15 Sept, pointed out that the positions of "Army Commander - Navy Commander" were not suitable as usual. Mr. Suthin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense, gave an interview about the news of sending documents to fill out the history in preparation for the formation of a new Cabinet, saying, 'It would be better to talk about solving the villagers' problems. Whoever wants to be what, let's put it off for now. Otherwise, the villagers will say, oh, I'm going to die already. Let's talk about who will be this or that. In this regard, the formation of the Cabinet is moving forward. I believe that the background checks are more detailed than ever, which makes it a bit slower. But ther e was confirmation and discussion this morning that it should be possible to announce the policy within September. As for whether it will be ready in time to prepare the list of military officers whose timeline is set to be completed by September 15, Mr. Sutin admitted that it is concerning because the list of transfers must not be completed by September 15. If it follows the government's timeline, it must be within September. Therefore, it must be adjusted. The Ministry of Defense must complete it according to its own timeline by September 15. If I am still there at that time, I will do it at that time. When asked if the armed forces will be urged to submit the list early next month, Mr. Sutin said that they are already urged. Right now, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defense is urged and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is urged as well. They have roughly discussed that there will be 1-2 informal meetings early next month, no later than September 5-10. It must be completed. When ask ed if they had to wait for the new cabinet, Mr. Sutin said that they probably couldn't wait. In fact, out of courtesy, we wanted to wait for the new cabinet to come and do it, but due to time constraints, if it didn't happen, it had to be done. When asked how the armed forces will end the problem of proposing new Navy and Army commanders, Mr. Sutin said that it is like this every year. The word 'problem' is not a given. It depends on the problem of thinking. Everyone is good, but whoever is the best has not been thought out yet. But when the time comes, there is a deadline, a decision must be made. The decision can be made. Mr. Sutin reiterated that regarding the examination of the qualifications of ministers, he did not say how long it would take, and there had been no discussions about it. Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister acting as Prime Minister, also said roughly that we are trying to get a new government, no later than September, as soon as possible. Everyone wants it as soon as possible . The reporter asked if Mr. Sutin could do anything that would benefit the country. Mr. Sutin replied that he could do anything that would benefit the country and he could do a lot of it. 'I think I can do a lot, in many roles. I received the Peace Award and I can do peace. Pushing for peace means helping the army. There is no problem,' said Mr. Sutin. When asked again whether he would rather be in the Defense Ministry, Mr. Sutin said that he could be anywhere, but he had to admit that he was attracted to the Defense Ministry. He laughed and said that whether or not he had the merit was another matter. For the progress of the selection of fighter jets, Mr. Sutin said that it is not yet complete, but the RTAF should have already made a decision. As for the submarines, 'Everything is already done. It's already been prepared. When the new cabinet comes, they can just press the hot water and make it. It's ready to drink. Everything is already packed in cups.' Source: Thai News Agency
