“I shall be faithfully loyal to all Chakri Kings until my death,” pledged Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who presided over the event.
“I shall also participate in national reforms and support governments that rule the country lawfully and with good governance under a constitutional monarchy for the benefit of the Thai people,” the PM continued.
Taking the oath in front of a portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the participants also promised to follow the law and manage national resources wisely for sustainable development in line with His Majesty’s Sufficiency Economy Philosophy.
The event, called “United Power of Reverence”, was held simultaneously at government offices across the nation as well as at Thai missions overseas.
Prayut along with other members of the Cabinet, high-ranking officials as well as bureaucrats under the PM’s Office attended the Government House event.
The occasion was held to demonstrate reverence toward the dynasty that has been ruling the country for over 230 years as well as in remembrance of the late monarch.
