New Thai Prime Minister

speaks to CNN

นายกรัฐมนตรี อภิสิทธิ์ เวชชาชีวะ ให้สัมภาษณ์ CNN


Watch CNN's Dan Rivers interview Abhisit Vejjajiva
Abhisit says his priority is reviving Thailand's economy

Leader of Democrat Party since 2005, now leads coalition government.
Abhisit is a career politician educated at Eton and Oxford University in the UK.
He is the youngest prime minister Thailand has had for more than 60 years, and perhaps the most articulate and telegenic.

He is untainted by corruption or conflicts of interest, which is almost unheard of in Thai politics, especially for someone who has been in parliament for 16 years.


BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave his blessing to a new government led by Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Wednesday, with the new prime minister pledging to end months of upheaval.

"I would say it is my intention to lead Thailand out of the current crisis, to bring unity back to the country, to make our economy recover, welcome back foreign investors and tourists," he said. "And we are going to move ahead and bring back the 'Land of the Smile.' "
