Government House , 'Sutin' has not yet discussed with the Council of State to amend the contract to purchase submarines, saying that he had already answered that it could be done, but it must be a Cabinet resolution, requesting to compile information before submitting to the Prime Minister. Defense Minister Sutin Khlangsaeng said about the discussion with the Secretary-General of the Council of State about the amendment of the submarine procurement contract that he did not meet with them, but there was a response letter from the navy beforehand, and the answer was that it could be done. The amendment of the contract would require a resolution from the Cabinet meeting. As for the overall engine, it can be changed. All opinions will be compiled and submitted to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will be informed verbally within this week. In this regard, if we look at the original TOR, it is specified as a diesel engine. It does not specify which country or model it belongs to. However, the seller will try to offer the best. Therefore, if we follow our TOR, it can be done. There is no need to discuss it to create confidence. Before presenting it to the Cabinet, there must be discussion with relevant parties, both the Council of State and the Navy.
