Soon-to-be Thailand's youngest prime minister, 37-year-old Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has vowed to do her best to lead the country forward. Lawmakers voted her into the post, just two days after the former leader Srettha Thavisin was removed by court order over an ethics violation. Ms Paetongtarn is the youngest daughter of ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra. She will be Thailand's second female prime minister and the third Shinawatra to hold the top post. She will also be the youngest head of government in Asia. CNA's Saksith Saiyasombut with more.
