Description
Thailand's Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai says his engagements with Myanmar junta are part of the efforts to find solution to the crisis in Myanmar, "to find out, what's happening?". He has also confirmed he met with ousted Myanmar democracy. Thailand hosted the junta's foreign minister last month for controversial "informal talks" that further split the bloc.
ASEAN chair Indonesia and Malaysia did not attend those talks, but Cambodia sent a foreign ministry official. These efforts have come under criticism, with many saying that Thailand's move could undermine ASEAN centrality. "This is not an ASEAN meeting. This is our own initiative. Why? Because we have long border with Myanmar, 2,400 (kilometers), " the foreign minister says. SOUNDBITES
