Thailand is prepared to back Laos in addressing the Myanmar crisis and other significant issues within the ASEAN region, according to Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara.

 

During a press conference yesterday, January 29, he explained that this support would bolster Laos’s success as the ASEAN chair this year.

 

Parnpree held discussions with his Lao equivalent, Saleumxay Kommasith, on Sunday to explore Laos-Thailand relations. This meeting took place amidst an ASEAN foreign ministers’ retreat organised by the Laos government, an initiative connected with its ASEAN chairmanship.

 

The foremost subject of their conversation was the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. Parnpree voiced Thailand’s readiness to aid Laos in tackling the issue. The minister highlighted the significant concerns within the ASEAN community regarding the situation in Myanmar, which had been in turmoil since the military coup in February 2021. He expressed hope for peace to be restored as soon as possible.
