Suthin’ waits for documents from the Attorney General. Clearing up the submarine issue, adhering to Cabinet resolutions, confirming there is no political lobbying. Revealed that the 2024 budget will not be affected because there are no new projects.

Mr. Suthin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense Discussing the progress of the Attorney General’s Office, answering questionsThe Navy, in solving the problem of the submarine project purchased from China, said that he would like to wait for an official response letter first. Because I haven’t seen the details yet. But there will be changes to the agreement. Or taking action forward or in any way must be a resolution of the Cabinet (Cabinet) in a manner similar to Loan Act No matter what the result is, it must be brought to the Cabinet. As for whether the contract must be extended or not, Mr. Suthin said that he must see how the Attorney General’s Office responds. Because the request to extend the contract must also be submitted to the Cabinet and does not need to be
submitted to the Council of State for interpretation.

However, if the Navy disagrees with the Cabinet’s opinion, what will they do? Mr. Suthin said that if he disagrees, he will adhere to the Cabinet’s resolution as the main principle, because the Cabinet’s resolution is the highest decision-making body, and the Cabinet will listen to needs and opinions. There is a large army. However, it is thought that this does not affect the consideration of the budget for 2024 because there was nothing in the submarine budget in 2024. There is only an old budget to build a pier. In the meantime, keep doing this.

‘Even though I may not get a submarine, It was adapted for other uses, such as being a commercial shipyard. Or a frigate instead. After inquiring, it can be used in many other ways, without wasting anything. It can be done, but only in the final stages. Haven’t reached phase 3 yet and haven’t signed the contract yet. which is the direct design of the submarine dock and maintenance facility. Not yet signed. The
first 2 phases can be used on general ships. That is general infrastructure,’ Mr. Suthin said.

While Mr. Settha Thavisin, the Prime Minister, gave his opinion on whether or not a submarine was available, Mr. Suthin said that the Prime Minister should adhere to the law and look at the needs of the Navy. And as he said in the House of Representatives If not really necessary If international relations can be maintained, then maintain them unless absolutely necessary.

As for the news that the Navy goes to negotiate or lobby political parties. In order for this matter to be passed and the submarine can continue to be built, Mr. Suthin said that Young, if you lobby, must lobby. Minister of Defense as well I would like to confirm that there is none, including at this time there are no arms dealers lobbying the Minister of Defense. There is only a line sent. or sent via social media. But in this matter, the minister cannot decide alone. Because of fear of the law And I don’t want to risk it. Adhere to the principle
of honesty as a shield.-313.-Thai News Agency
