The chairman of the Sang Anakhot Thai Party, Somkid Jatusripitak, said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha should take advantage of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Summit to show his vision for the nation, as well as his leadership skills, to be recognised as an Asean leader.
The former deputy prime minister made the comment in a speech on Thai-Chinese relations at a Thai-Chinese Exim Association event attended by many Thai business figures of Chinese descent.
According to him, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen stole the show at last week's Asean Summit with a speech at the opening ceremony on Friday.
