The government has insisted it is open to opinions from all stakeholders in the Chana industrial project in Songkhla, amid controversy over the cabinet's resolution to resume development.

Deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said the Office of the National Economics and Social Development Council will have a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Chana project carried out to examine proposals by civil groups.
