Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha said the government is planning a public forum this month for the country’s youth to voice their concerns and opinions, following dozens of youth-led, anti-government demonstrations in recent weeks across the country.
“I’m concerned about our youth, and I want them to know that we’ll listen to their ideas about what they want their future to look like,” Prayuth said after the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
