Bangkok [Thailand], May 1: Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn has approved the appointment of retired diplomat Maris Sangiampongsa as the Southeast Asian country's new foreign minister, the Royal Gazette said on Wednesday.
Maris is a former Thai ambassador to several countries and previously served as an advisor to his predecessor Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara.
The appointment came as Parnpree abruptly resigned on Sunday following a reshuffle of cabinet members, which saw him removed from the position of deputy prime minister under the government of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.
