BALI: -- Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill invites Thailand to join the oil and gas exploration and production in his country.

During a corridor meeting with Thailand’s Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday on the sidelines of the Apec Summit 2013 in Indonesia, O’Neill said that PNG petroleum minister will come to Thailand for a discussion with the Thai energy minister.

According to the Thai government’s website, O’Neill accepted the invitation to join the ITU Telecom World 2013, which will be hosted by the Thai government in November.

He also told the Thai leader that his country is opening an embassy in Thailand, to elevate the relations between the two countries.

O’Niell proposed Thailand play a more active role in boosting trade between Papua New Guinea and Asean.

At present, about 1,700 Thais are working in the country.

That's a change. Someone is pumping Yingluck for money. She must be confused because all her meeting with diplomats are for taking from other countries.

Poor Chalerm must wish he'd kept his big mouth shut about offering to have his head cut off if he failed in his mission to bring his master home from Dubai.

And now there he is lying in his hospital bed with only 90 days left on the clock and he hears that KY is having 'corridor chats' with the PM of Papua New Guinea, where they know a bit about chopping off heads and shrinking them for trophies!

PNG still relatively unspoilt, soon <deleted> that up and add it to the list of poisoned wastelands.

I would have thought that PNG would look to Indonesia's Pertamina for oil exploration and production development. However if the Mighty Crab can turn PNG our way instead it could lead to a very significant dollar cash flow.
