Russ Jalichandra, vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that all Southeast member countries are willing to support Thailand’s actions in relation to conflicts in Myanmar.
Mr. Ras claimed yesterday that the MFA has not attempted to obstruct legislative efforts to address Myanmar’s situation through the Inter-Parliamentary Union ( IPU) Assembly, which is currently taking place in Geneva.
Mr. Ras was responding to questions raised by observers about whether Thailand’s plan to hold an informal conference on the Myanmar scenario among Asian member nations in December would be seen as interfering with the country’s domestic affairs.
He explained that at the IPU conference in Geneva on October 2, the MFA was asked to give its judgment to parliament regarding Thailand’s plan to drive for an” Emergency Item on Myanmar.”
Mr. Ras urged the MFA to be aware that this action may indicate that Thailand is taking sides, which might have an impact on its capacity as a facilitator of discussions between different parties in Myanmar and might have an impact on cross-border issues like crime and climate concerns.
Parliament agreed with the MFA’s view by a majority voting, Mr Ras said.
He continued, noting that the MFA has the authority or work to obstruct the outcome of the joint decision between all parliamentary officials.
The vice chancellor emphasized that conversation with Asean members and careful handling of Myanmar issues are necessary.
He added that all Asean people have accepted the steps taken by the Thai authorities, including holding an Asean meeting on the subject.
Steps taken without Asean members ‘ consent may have adverse effects and be seen as interference, according to Mr. Ras.
However, Kannavee Suebsang, a list-MP for the FAIR Party, shared information about attending the IPU gathering, held from Oct 13 to 18.
The conference this year will address the humanitarian needs of Sudan and the Congo, with particular attention to the need to adhere to international humanitarian rules in these conflict areas.
He stated that the meeting will take into account a Myanmar peace-related crisis plan suggested by Ukraine.
If this plan passes immediately, it will be open for debate. Mr. Kannavee stated that he would back this issue because Thailand may play a significant part in promoting peace in its neighboring nation.
