Popular Post webfact 131442 Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha begins a visit to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, to strengthen bilateral relations with one of the Middle East’s most important players, according to a high level source at Government House. The two-day visit will mark a new milestone in Thai-Saudi relations, which were established in 1957, as both countries have agreed to move forward in their bilateral relationship. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai visited Saudi Arabia in January 2020, marking the first visit by a Thai foreign minister in 30 years. The aim was to normalise the long stalled relationship.

Absolutely. It also has no mention of the fact that there are still no direct flights between the 2 countries and Saudi's without special permission still aren't allowed to travel to Thailand, or face big problems if immigration see a Thai stamp in their passport upon returning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He richly deserves exile. And it does make sense for him to court a relationship with the Saudis. One despot relating with another. Prayuth and MBS. Two very pathetic men. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aim was to normalise the long stalled relationship. Possibly, but I bet not! (for reference):- ....... in more than 30 years following decades of diplomatic tension sparked by a jewel theft from a Saudi palace. Thai-born janitor ..................... stole $20 million worth of precious gems in 1989 from the home of a Saudi prince, triggering a feud between the countries dubbed the "Blue Diamond Affair". Thai police later returned some of the jewels but Saudi officials claimed most were fakes, while the whereabouts of the most precious gem -- a rare 50-carat blue diamond -- remains unknown. (please read the complete article - most interesting with subsequent corruption and murder in Bangkok.) https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220123-thai-pm-to-visit-saudi-arabia-for-first-time-since-gem-theft-soured-ties Edited January 24 by Burma Bill additional information Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
