Thai US Ambassador Appointed
Thai News - US Senate has voted to approve the appointment of Glyn Davies, a former United States envoy for North Korean policy, as the new ambassador in Thailand to fill a position that has beenvacant for 10 months (since the military coup).
This development was reported Thursday morning in a tweet by the US charge d'affaires, W Patrick Murphy.
The senate vote was the last hurdle before Mr Davies can depart for Bangkok to take up the post.
Mr Davies was nominated as the next US ambassador by President Barack Obama in mid-April. All ambassador appointments must have Senate approval.
The nomination was welcomed by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) when it was announced.
