Deputy Permanent Secretary for Culture Mr. Prarop Laowanit is set to propose to the new Culture Minister a policy which is aimed at promoting the understanding of the ASEAN Economic Community in Thailand.
According to Mr. Prarop, executives of the Culture Ministry have now begun to brainstorm on the proposal where they will also incorporate Pheu Thai’s approach on the cultural aspects into the policy.
It will begin with the plan to make Thailand the center of Buddhism and improvement of the Sunday school program with a financial support of 100 million THB per year. Better diplomatic relations with ASEAN nations and other trading partners of Thailand will also become the focus of the Ministry of Culture in the incoming government.
In addition, it is planning to reconcile the southern conflicts by creating a network at the provincial level for more efficiency in solving the insurgency issue. Meanwhile, Mr. Prarop raised the importance of cultural protection where the awareness would be raised via the media. However, he said until the new government was formed, Thai people’s interests would be the priority of the Ministry of Culture.
