BANGKOK, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Thailand is bound to adopt "cautious, scrupulous" foreign policy in the face of newly sworn-in U.S. President Donald Trump, said a Thai expert on Friday.
Chulalongkorn University's political scientist Surachart Bamrungsuk suggested that the Thai government under Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha apply foreign policy in "cautious, scrupulous" manner while dealing with the U.S. government under maverick and outspoken Trump.
Though it would be too soon at the moment to say whether the new U.S. administration might take any measure in favor of the ASEAN countries in general and Thailand in particular, Prayut's government is strongly advised to get prepared for possibilities of radical changes in the U.S. foreign policy as a whole, Surachart said during an interview with Xinhua.
"While we have to wait and see how Trump's foreign policy will turn out, particularly regarding the ASEAN region, our government is bound to take cautious, scrupulous steps to deal with it," the Chulalongkorn expert commented.
