No. 428/2549

As the previous English translation of the Thai title of the Council for Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy had led to misunderstanding and false interpretation in some countries and for some foreign media on the role of the Monarchy, the Council, therefore, deems it appropriate to change the English translation of its title to “COUNCIL FOR DEMOCRATIC REFORM” or CDR. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs thus requests all media to refer to the Council by this new English translation of its title in their reporting.
