The envoy will be assisted by a senior foreign ministry official and have an office inside the Prime Minister’s Office. She will also directly report to the foreign minister on policy implementation and important developments.

 

The ministry said her appointment is meant to ensure effective developments in addressing issues between the two countries, as Myanmar is strategically important to Thailand in areas of geopolitics, economy, society and national security.

What a load of codswallop.

Forgot to mention that the Burmese butcher's have close ties to the usurpers here which is the real point, so their corrupt activities can continue.
