BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Kreangam told reporters Wednesday that he would invite foreign academics to "exchange ideas and answer questions" regarding their charter experience.

He stressed that these foreign academics from various countries would be invited to talk about their country's experience in drafting and changing a constitution,

He pointed out "for example, France had couple of dozens of revolutions and change from monarchy to republican regimes many times," and believed that Thailand could learn from their experience during this transitional period.

Wissanu clarified that they are not being invited to criticise or teach Thailand about democracy.

"The prime minister believes that our country has gone through many crises that led to military coups and eventually the constitution drafting and reform process. Therefore, we should listen to countries who have had similar experiences," said Wisanu.
