Thai Defence Minister to meet Prime Minister over submarine procurement project
Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang will meet Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to discuss the submarine procurement project, with the proposal to be swiftly submitted to the Cabinet for final approval. The urgency is palpable as China eagerly awaits the conclusion of the deal. The Royal Thai Navy initially intended to purchase three submarines from China but later reduced its order to one due to budget constraints.
