BANGKOK, 6 August 2015, Spouses of members of the Cabinet met yesterday to discuss the establishment of a center for the development of the quality of life of the elderly, before visiting the “Creative Industry: Gifts for Mom” Fair at Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem market near Government House.
The first meeting of cabinet spouses chaired by Naraporn Chan-o-cha, the wife of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, was held at the Santimitree building in the Government House complex.
Initially the meeting proposed a project to establish a model center for the development of an improved quality of life of the elderly, as the Kingdom prepares to cater for its aging population. The meeting noted that although such centers already exist in each district nationwide, these centers face difficulty in properly managing their operations and activities. The new model center would demonstrate how to organize creative activities that would be truly beneficial to the elderly.
After the meeting, the Cabinet members with their spouses visited the “Creative Industry: Gifts for Mom” Fair. They browsed stalls, conversed with vendors and made several purchases.
