BANGKOK: Thailand's coup leaders are due to make a televised address to the nation at 9 am (0200 GMT) on Wednesday, and have told civil servants to tune in to hear their new policies, a senior colonel told reporters.
Leaders of Tuesday's bloodless military putsch against Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra would brief Bangkok-based diplomats at 1 pm, Colonel Samerpak Sawangmuang told reporters.
“The leaders of the Political Reform Council will tell the ambassadors and other diplomats what has happened and their policies,” Samerpak, a coup spokesman, said.
With Thaksin at the United Nations in New York, the armed forces seized power in Bangkok, revoking the constitution and promising a swift return to democracy after political reforms.
