Solving Myanmar fight a major concern
Maris Sangiampongsa, the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, has emphasised Thailand’s responsibility in ensuring peaceful speech to help resolve the issue in Myanmar.
The , government held” Meet the Press# 1″ on Friday to describe his plan. At the meeting, Mr Maris shared his perception of Thailand’s international policy under the topic of” Burn Thailand, Re- light Thai Diplomacy”.
He cited the importance of maintaining a great relationship with neighbors because it will contribute to improving Thailand’s security, citing the Myanmar issue, which has had an impact on Thailand’s border security.
” Our foreign policy toward neighboring nations should concentrate on common harmony, which may encourage a concerted effort to achieve common goals,” he continued.
He claimed that the Thailand-Myanmar frontier has been affected by the conflict there, and that Thailand would like to see tranquility there restored because it will improve border security and lessen the impact of the conflict.
” We need to give Myanmar a lot of priority in the protection sector. Also, we want to be a key person in making certain a peace speech happens to solve the problem in Myanmar properly.
Additionally, we will continue to push for humanitarian aid in this area, but it needs to be accepted by all parties. We want to see the conflict cease, and this is where we are most concerned. However, we have to keep in mind that this problem is fragile and needs to be worked on quietly, “he added.
In addition, Thailand also needs to function with Myanmar on the reduction of unlawful companies, call center schemes and drug smuggling.
Furthermore, he said Thailand did also rely on an initiative called” Six Countries, One Destination”, to deliver neighbouring states to work together on tourism.
In order to promote tourism and promote creativity, Thailand can use its soft power plan to build integration and imagination in its efforts with neighboring nations, which may help maintain peace and foster trust.
He said Laos, for example, is considered to be the power of Asia, thus Thailand may work with Laos on alternative solutions such as wind energy, solar power and electricity.
He claimed that Malaysia is a key player in the ongoing insurgency in southern Thailand and along the Thailand-Malaysia border.
He claimed that working with Malaysia on the southern special economic zone will help bring the two countries closer together and advance both economies in addition to having a direct dialogue.
Thailand will soon open the Royal Thai Consulate General in Siem Reap and support collaboration on systematic logistic management.
The minister hopes to gain back trust in Thailand by engaging with international communities through a business-led model.
Thailand “has been off the radar of the world for a long time as a result of our internal political conflicts, and it needs to regain the trust of international organizations.”
” We have lost many opportunities, wasted time and the country’s true potential.
” Therefore, we need to restore Thailand’s image and make sure Thailand has a key role in international communities at both the regional and global levels, and it can be done through trade and investment, “he said.
He also emphasized the significance of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA ), particularly with emerging markets in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
” These countries have strong economic potential. I’ll make an effort to travel to those emerging economies and lay the groundwork for Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s negotiations when he travels there.
” Besides, we also have’ Friends from Thailand’, where we are going to push Thais to have more of a role in people- people diplomacy”, he added.
He stated that the key areas that will be the main priorities for regaining trust from the international community are trade, investment, and business.
