Phiphat loses key EEC post

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has taken over direct management of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) from his deputy Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, signaling a significant shift in leadership for one of Thailand's major economic projects. The EEC, aimed at boosting infrastructure and economic growth in the eastern region, has been a critical focus for the government.
