According to Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two countries have agreed to establish a task force to improve humanitarian aid to displaced people at their boundary and, if successful, to increase that to include other help organizations.
Thailand hopes that the program will strengthen army-ruled Myanmar’s relationship with the Asean union and the global community. The decision was made at a gathering of their top officials on Thursday.
The Thai government is prepared to construct shelters along the border to receive refugees in the event that fighting in Myanmar intensifies, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Parnpree Bahiddha- Nukara on Sunday ( Dec2 ).
An influx of refugees under the current circumstances is doubtful. However, going forward, if murder worsens, there may be immigrants fleeing in all directions, not just to Thailand, according to Mr. Parnpree.
Many entrepreneurs and cargo trucks were stranded in the border town of Myawaddy on Saturday as a result of fighting between cultural forces and Burmese government forces. The Mae Sot city of Tak province, which borders Myanmar, was about 10 kilometers from the battleground.
