Thailand Working ‘Relentlessly’ to Solve Myanmar Crisis, PM Says

Thailand is “working relentlessly” to bring an end to the crisis in neighboring Myanmar where rebel groups have been clashing with the military-government, according to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

Srettha’s administration is working with Laos, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and other member nations on the Myanmar issue, the premier told Nikkei’s Future of Asia Forum in Tokyo on Friday. Thailand is scaling up humanitarian assistance for Myanmar people along Thailand’s border where conflicts have been raging, Srettha said.
