Thailand: PM: Asean ties still strong
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who is attending the Asean-Korea Commemorative summit in South Korea, insists that relations between Asean member countries are still close and stable.
He said on Monday that he met leaders from Laos, Cambodia and Burma at the summit and they discussed ways to strengthen bilateral ties and promote investment.
After meeting Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Mr Abhisit said he will pay an official visit to Cambodia on June 12 to discuss investment projects including infrastructure.
He said he would find an opportunity to meet the Burmese leader to discuss the political situation in Burma.
The prime minister visited the wind power plant in South Korea's Jeju island and met Thai businessmen there.
He said the technology of generating electricity from wind energy could be used in some areas of Thailand such as Prachuap Khiri Khan and the three southern border provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala.
However, the government would have to conduct a feasibility study and gather public opinions on this issue first, he said.
