US-Thailand underline closer cooperation

BANGKOK: -- The United States and Thailand have underlined their closer cooperation in security affairs and have agreed to support reconciliation and peace in Myanmar and the Korean Peninsula.

The two countries confirmed the closer cooperation and regional support during a meeting here yesterday between the Commander of the US Asian Pacific Forces , Adm. William Fallon, and the Thai Foreign Minister, Kantathi Suphamongkhon.

Adm. Fallon paid a courtesy call on the Thai minister on the occasion of visiting the Thai kingdom to oversee the annual military exercises between the US, Singapore and Thai forces, dubbed the 'Cobra Gold 2005', in Thailand's northern province of Chiang Mai this month.

Washington and Bangkok have also agreed to cooperate in other areas, including relief operations for the last December's tsunami victims in Thailand and other countries in the region.

Adm. Fallon and Mr. Kantathi also agreed to support peaceful reconciliation in Myanmar and the Korean Peninsula through negotiations.
