BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsed Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister on Sunday, two days after parliament elected her, paving the way for her to form a cabinet in the coming weeks.
The king’s approval, a formality, was read out by House of Representatives Secretary Apat Sukhanand in a ceremony in Bangkok.
