Thai central bank to investigate Myanmar weapons payments

According to Indian international affairs spokeswoman Nikorndej Balankura, government and finance officials and the government and business leaders had a discussion on Wednesday regarding” transactions that may be related to the order of weapons and military supplies and the Myanmar authorities.”

A Task Force may be established in collaboration with the Bank of Thailand and the anti-money laundering agency, he said.

He did not give information on a timeline for the inspection.

The revolt, which ended a short-lived trial with politics, plunged the Southeast Asian nation into turmoil.

Across swathes of the country, the junta is battling established racial minority armed parties as well as pro-democracy” Women’s Army Causes”.

As the coup struggles to oust its revolution, rights groups accuse it of waging potential war crimes.

More than 5, 400 people have been killed and 27, 000 arrested in the regime’s assault since 2021, according to nearby surveillance teams.
