Discussed: 12 Dec 2024 at 05: 08
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra made the suggestion on Wednesday that four Thai team members of a fish vehicle detained in Myanmar are expected to be released soon after the New Year.
” Dec 19 is the Thai international minister’s and his Myanmar equivalent are scheduled to meet. As for now, the launch of the four is still pending Myanmar’s legal processes. But there isn’t any trouble with their safety”, she said.
” Considering the outcome of previous]informal ] talks, everything, including the paperwork, should be all done shortly after the New Year”.
Ms. Paetongtarn said she had spoken with the Thai embassy to Myanmar and the deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister Than Swe, both of whom she expressed concern for the safety of the Thais and her desire for their release as soon as possible.
She even discussed with these events the legal issues that the four team members are facing and concluded that some issues still need to be resolved.
Following a gun attack on 15 fishing vessels off this southwestern state on November 30 by Myanmar police ships, the people are being detained in Kawthaung, same Ranong. One fishing boat crew member jumped into the water and died during the invasion.
Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, a list-MP and deputy leader of the opposition People’s Party ( PP ), urged the government to take swifter action, saying even if they had crossed into Myanmar’s territorial waters, the patrol boats had overreacted.
In his power as the defense minister, he asked Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai to need a precise release date and what payment Myanmar would pay for the deaths and injuries sustained during the conflict.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may invite the Myanmar ambassador for discussions on the matter if requests for their release via the Township Border Committee ( TBC ) are unsuccessful, according to Mr. Wiroj.
Mr. Phumtham may speak with his Myanmar rival straight at the Asean governmental meeting in Bangkok on December 20 about the Myanmar problems, or he might ask for direct conversations with him. Additionally, Mr. Wiroj said the PM could speak with Min Aung Hlaing, the military leader of Myanmar.
