Govt moving to secure new energy supply sourcesThe government is stepping up efforts to protect Thai nationals in conflict zones, including evacuation operations in Iran. It is also moving to secure alternative energy supplies and strengthen regional cooperation on energy and food security. The government's most immediate concern was the safety of Thai nationals in high‑risk areas. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has placed particular emphasis on the situation in Iran, where about 300 Thai nationals are believed to be living. On energy security, he said Thailand's oil reserves remain at a stable level, but the government is using diplomatic channels to identify alternative supplies.
