THAILAND POLITICS SECURITY
In another serious political statement, Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra, better known as Ung-Ing said yesterday that she and her government will give very tip-top priority to food security.

Paethongtarn spoke on the issue at (deep breath) the eighth Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Economic Cooperation Summit and the 10th Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (Acmecs) summit at Kunming.

USA POLITICS
by Kavi Chongkittavorn, veteran journalist on regional affairs
Hardly anyone believes that America has changed its foreign policy to 'pivot to Asia.' But here's the argument they should hear.
The next U.S. administration (i.e. Hitler) must firmly engage with Southeast Asia and its regional organisation, ASEAN to protect its strategic interests.
America needs to dispel the idea that U.S. policy is solely motivated by "a craving for American primacy" and shift its rhetoric away from a lopsided focus on U.S.-China competition.
