PM to cut short his visit to China
Prime Minister Surayud Chalanont decides to cut short his official visit to China late this month. The decision was made hours after HM the King warned of disturbance over the upcoming Constitution Tribunal verdict on the future of two major political parties.
Surayud said he leaves for Beijing on May 28 and returns the following day, instead of May 31 as earlier scheduled.
His earlier schedule will make him not in the country when the Tribunal ruled on May 30 on Thai Rak Thai and Democrat Party's allegations that they violated the election laws. Any party that were found guilty would be dissolved.
Surayud did not elaborate the reason. His decision came a day after HM the King said he had grave concern on the country's situation after the Tribunal delivered verdict on the trials.
