Mae Sot checkpoint reopening Dec 5

The Mae Sot-Myawaddy checkpoint on the Thai-Burmese border will be reopened on Dec 5 after more than a year of closure, Tak deputy governor Wuthi Sithisurat said on Saturday.

Mr Wuthi said he had been confirmed of the reopening of the checkpoint by the governor of Myawaddy.

Burma had invited Thai authorities and leading members of the Tak Chamber of Commerce and Federation of Thai Industries to attend the opening ceremony of a border economic zone on Dec 5.

The ceremony would be attended by high-level Burmese officials from Naypyidaw, the Burmese capital.

Mr Wuthi said there would not be a ceremony to mark the reopening of the checkpoint, which has been closed since July 18 last year.

The Thai-Burmese Friendship Bridge would be opened as usual.

Sources said the reopening of the Mae Sot-Myawaddy checkpoint followed a contact between Thai Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul and the Burmese counterpart.
