Bangkok asks junta to reduce violence, prepares for influx of people across border
-
MAE SOT, Thailand Thailand has sent messages to Myanmar's junta to reduce violence, its foreign minister said on April 12, adding that preparations are under way for an influx of people crossing into Thailand after the fall of a border town to rebels.
Mr Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said Thailand is also working with Asean members to follow a stalled peace plan for Myanmar, known as its five-point consensus.
"Thailand wants to see peace and dialogue," he told reporters, following a visit to Mae Sot. It lies across the Myanmar town of Mya-Waddy that was wrested out of military control by anti-junta forces led by the Karen National Union (KNU) rebel group.
He added that Bangkok is considering alternative trade routes in case of road closures caused by the fighting.
