Thai king endorses new cabinet led by PM Srettha

 Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn has endorsed the cabinet of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, a royal gazette said on Saturday.

The gazette published on Saturday that the king appointed the ministers selected by Srettha.

Srettha, the candidate of Pheu Thai Party, was elected as the Southeast Asian kingdom's new prime minister in August after winning a simple majority in a parliamentary vote.
