Thailand and Burma restart border demarcation talks
Thailand and Burma have agreed to renew negotiations over disputed border demarcations, which had stalled under Burma’s previous government. The agreement was reached during State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi’s recent visit to Thailand, according to Burma’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Observers say that Thailand wants to solve the border disputes for business interests and security concerns. According to the Ministry of Commerce, Burma currently has 16 border trading posts, four of which border Thailand.
