(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 (KUNA) -- Thai business tycoon and conservative politician Anutin Charnvirakul assumed responsibility as Thailand's 32nd prime minister on Sunday after King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsed the results of parliamentary vote, held two days ago.
Following the reading of the royal endorsement at a formal function, the new head of government pledged to put an end to the political and economic turmoil in the country.
Charnvirakul, 58, is Thailand's fourth prime minister in two years.
