THAILAND is committed to returning to democracy in accordance with the roadmap that has been planned to achieve this goal, said the country's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in a major speech in Singapore on Friday night.

"If we can bring peace and order back to our society, reforms can then take place," said the 62-year-old former army chief at the opening dinner of the Shangri-La Dialogue.
