Phumtham Wechayachai, the head of the defense ministry and the head of the national security council, was present at the committee’s second meeting on Saturday for the protection and quality of security threats in border areas.
Officials at the meeting reviewed the security situation following, among other things, the suspension of gas exports, electronic supplies, and telecom signals to areas of Myanmar that are suspected of hosting digital criminals and individual traffickers.
Additionally, they considered creating specialized operation centers to combat certain threats, such as drug trafficking on land, sea, and air, in addition to creating a legal expert committee to support the major committee’s work.
After the meeting, Mr. Phumtham stated that there would be no easing of Myanmar’s energy, web, and gas restrictions, adding that these steps are necessary to combat criminal networks that are still active in some of the neighboring nations.
The state is attempting to reduce international acts more aggressively.
Mr. Phumtham noted that call center swindling is relocating from Myawaddy, Myanmar, to different locations in Cambodia and Vietnam.
He claimed Thailand had reached out to Laos ‘ officials and Cambodia’s national defense and inside officials to promote better assistance.
Regarding a plan to establish five Tak province-bordering areas as exclusive safety zones, Mr. Phumtham stated discussions would first be held to determine the viability and economic impact of such a measure.
When questioned about potential long-term solutions to the call center fraud issue, he suggested that the nation that is the scene of these scams may take the place of such a group effort.
