BANGKOK, July 21 (TNA) - Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva plans to visit people living upcountry on a weekly basis but, at this moment, will avoid visiting the provinces in the northeastern region, which generally still support ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, according to Minister to the Prime Minister's Office Satit Wonghnongtaey.
Satit told journalists that Abhisit is scheduled to go to the southern province of Songkla on Saturday August 1 to announce the government's community welfare scheme as a national agenda.
The week after that, Satit said, the prime minister may visit Bangkok's nearby provinces as he has engagements in the capital.
However, no northeastern province visits are currently listed in the plan, he said.
Regarding the premier's visits to Chiang Mai, Sukhothai and Ubon Ratchathani, plans have been set but the dates are not fixed, Satit said.
The visits would also depend on the policies at the destinations and the facilities to support the trips.
Meanwhile, Satit said the government is expected to deliver its six-month performance statement on Sunday and Monday August 2-3.
The official documents regarding that issue have already been prepared for members of parliament, senators, and the media, as well as the general public.
The Prime Minister's Office will also publicise the government’s performance via community radio, local cable television and advertising billboards. (TNA)
