Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, in his capacity as chairman of a committee tasked with developing the deep South, on Monday approved 11 projects to be carried out in the restive region, in a bid to boost the government's soft power projection and stabilise the area.
The projects were approved during a tour of Narathiwat, where Gen Prawit was scheduled to inspect flood-stricken areas before meeting with the Committee on Development Strategy in the Deep South.
