Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has confirmed that army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha will not be transferred.
"Since I assumed the premiership, I have never interfered in military affairs. Gen Prayuth is still performing his duty [as army chief]," Ms Yingluck said when asked by reporters if she wanted to retain him as army commander-in-chief.
The prime minister yesterday visited the Internal Security Operations Command and the army. She was warmly greeted by the top brass before chairing the Isoc meeting as director of the agency and was briefed about its work.
She asked the Isoc to strictly adhere to His Majesty the King's working approach of understanding (khao jai), accessibility (khao thueng), and development (pattana) in carrying out its duties in the far South.
She said she would assign Pol Gen Kowit Wattana, deputy prime minister, to chair the Isoc's board.
Ms Yingluck vowed to foster national reconciliation. She called for cooperation from all of society to help push for reconciliation in a bid to restore peace. She thanked the army for its flood relief work.
During the meeting, Gen Prayuth said the army stands ready to serve the government around the clock.
