Prime Minister Paetongtarn called for the development of the film industry to revitalize Thailand's soft power!
At 6:20 PM on July 14, Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Paetongtarn sent a message through the X platform to the meeting of the National Soft Power Strategy Committee.
This morning, private sector representatives from the film, television, and music industries had a discussion with the Secretary-General of the committee, discussing specific methods to support Thailand's creative industry. One of the main issues discussed was tax incentives and cash rebates.
To encourage Thai producers to invest in more high-quality works, create job opportunities, generate local revenue, and impart skills to the Thai people, Paetongtarn believes that the Thai film, music, and television industries are not just entertainment, but also economic forces and important tools for exporting Thailand's identity to the world.
Paetongtarn emphasized that the role of Thai media producers is to create high-quality content that educates, inspires, and reflects the contemporary values of Thai culture, especially for the younger generation, making them feel that Thailand and Buddhism are part of the Thai way of thinking, not just rituals or beliefs, but guidance. As Minister of Culture, she will continue to promote sustainable development in Thailand, drive economic growth, and build a society based on morality, culture, and social understanding.
