Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has postponed a retreat with her Singaporean counterpart in order to take part in the no-confidence debate on the subject of her leadership, government spokesman Teerat Ratanasevi said on Friday.
Last Friday the Democrats submitted a motion for a no-confidence debate against Ms Yingluck and Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan.
Mr Teerat said the debate is expected to be held on Nov 26-27 in the House of Representatives, with the no-confidence vote pencilled in for Nov 28, the last day of the current parliamentary session.
Ms Yingluck had been scheduled to attend a prime ministerial retreat in Singapore on Nov 26-27, but this has now been postponed until January next year.
The spokesman said a mobile cabinet meeting in Songkhla due to take place on Nov 29-30 will go ahead, adding that officials have been in the area preparing for the event.
The prime minister will on Nov 29 preside over the opening of "Thailand 2020" exhibition in Songkhla's Hat Yai district, after which she will visit the Thai-Malaysian immigration checkpoint in Sadao district before returning to Songkhla town to attend the meeting of the Public-Private Consultative Committee.
The following day, she will chair a cabinet meeting at Songkhla Rajabhat University.
Mr Teerat said the government has published a report on the prime minister's visits to other countries to explain the purpose of each trip and its achievements, to help the public fully understand her work.
