Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin mentioned on his X account today that Time Magazine interviewed him in February, aiming to discuss political issues relating to his new role as prime minister, which he expected to be the main focus of their article.
He found the interview pleasant but had anticipated more inquiries about Thailand's politics. Instead, the focus was on Thailand’s stance on controversial global issues under his leadership.
He reiterated Thailand’s commitment to maintaining impartiality to Time.
“Time also explored various aspects of me and Thai politics, reflecting the interviewer’s perspectives. I appreciate their analysis of Thailand’s political situation.”
The article doesn't provide a word-for-word transcript of the conversation, but rather an overview of current events, his thoughts, and others’ opinions on him and the changes in Thai politics. Overall, he found it to be a valuable and enjoyable read,” he stated.
The prime minister also affirmed that the facts in the article were accurate but the author, Charlie Campbell, synthesized these facts based on his own views and perspectives.
