Four-point plan for crisis in Myanmar

Govt urged to move up peace counseling

A four-point action plan has been proposed by the House committee on foreign affairs to assist in the resolution of the Myanmar problems.

Noppadon Pattama, the committee’s president and Pheu Thai Party MP, stated that the screen has been monitoring the situation in Myanmar and supports all attempts to put an end to the issue.

He claimed that the committee has developed a four-point plan that would aid in the government’s effort to coordinate its reaction.

He recommended first that the government establish a special section made up of security and foreign affairs authorities to closely watch the situation and formulate a comprehensive reply.

Next, a contingency plan may be put in place to deal with any potential increase in fighting that could lead to an increase in people seeking shelter in the border provinces.

He predicted that the battle will get worse as Myanmar will increase enlistment in April.

Third, the state may increase the circulation of humanitarian assistance to include all those who are affected by the issue rather than limiting it to 10, 000 people who are sheltered in three settlements. Asean should also be involved to ensure complete help, he said.

” Thailand does also play a major part in solving the problems in Myanmar, stepping up its efforts beyond the function of facilitator”, he said.

Last but not least, the nation does establish” Myanmar Troika Plus,” a group that includes Thailand, China, and India and is dedicated to promoting lasting peace in Myanmar. The trio would be an informal consultation system, he said.

Mr. Noppadon stated that the proposed system is in line with Asean’s five-point harmony plan, which calls for dialogue between all parties, the end of hostilities, and the grant of full humanitarian access to Myanmar.

” We are never short of ideas, but we must move up our efforts. Although the Myanmar conflict is difficult, Asean and Thailand can work together to bring it under control. If we can accomplish this, Thailand will achieve international recognition”, Mr Noppadon, a former foreign minister, said.

Prior to the conflict, the authorities had agreed to establish a humanitarian corridor along Myanmar’s borders to aid those who had been displaced there. The Thai and Myanmar Red Cross will be able to provide products under the guidance of Asean’s charitable aid organization following the approval of Asean foreign officials and a member from Myanmar’s dictatorship. On March 25, the second caravan of humanitarian assistance will travel to Myanmar via Tak’s Mae Sot district’s 2nd Thai- Myanmar Bridge.
