Mr. Phumtham, who also serves as a deputy prime minister, stated on Friday that the monthly defense overhaul will be finalized as soon as possible.
He claimed that the conference was an introduction conversation and that it was a topic of discussion during a meeting with military officials on Thursday.
The minister reaffirmed his commitment to the proper procedures and to try his hardest to resolve any issues that might occur during the annual overhaul.
” During the movement of opportunities, whether it be at the Defence Ministry or somewhere, there will be guesswork, rumours and slander. It’s our duty to monitor and solve the issues carefully”, he said.
