Thai foreign minister abruptly resigns after being dropped as deputy prime minister

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has picked a new foreign minister, who has not been named. Mr Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara resigned after losing his deputy prime minister portfolio in a cabinet reshuffle. Mr Thavisin has also relinquished the finance minister portfolio, appointing his advisor Pichai Chunhavajira. The 75-year-old had recently quit as the chairman of the Thai Stock Exchange. Overall, there has been a lukewarm reaction to the cabinet reshuffle. Analysts and citizens said the moves are minor and will not have a significant impact on public confidence. May Wong reports.
