The prime minister has ordered security officials to monitor the situation in Syria closely after the US-led bombings.

 

National Security Council secretary-general Gen Wallop Raksanoh said after Syria bombings by the US, Britain and France, the prime minister has ordered security officials to monitor and assess  the situation closely, as Thailand is a member of the  United Nations.

 

If the conflict deteriorates and prompts the UN to call  an emergency meeting, or upon request by member country for urgent  meeting, Thailand needs to comply with under international laws, he said.

"He said Thailand insisted on calling all disputed countries  to restrain from the use of force but patience as it didn’t want any further loss of lives."

 

Well I am sure they have all sat up and taken notice. Now peace will prevail.

 

I am pleased he is using his influence as a world statesman for the good of all of us.

 

Or perhaps this could be the reason for his concern;

 

"Syria is a major   importer of Thai 5% rice or about 100,000 tons per year, and the Middle East market holds 20% of total Thai export market or a million ton a year, any escalation of the conflict could hurt Thai rice exports."

 

 

The extended "hurt" seems internally generated.
