BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand's cabinet reshuffle has been settled and the government coalitionremains strong, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said on Tuesday.

"It is settled and I've spoken with all party leaders and now the names are being vetted," she told reporters.

Her remarks came after the second-largest partner in the coalition withdrew its support last week.

Paetongtarn also dismissed speculation that she would also take the Defence Ministry portfolio.
