Before chairing the cabinet meeting today, the Prime Minister met with representatives of the National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand (NCSWT), as they were promoting the sale of jasmine to celebrate Mother’s Day and the 88th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Some of the proceeds from the sale will be used to help vulnerable groups affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prime Minister offered words of encouragement to a group of young people, telling them to become active in national development when they grow up.



The Tourism and Sports Minister, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, then led the Prime Minister to view the Amazing Thailand SHA event, which oversees sanitation and the safety standards of tourism products and services.
