Thai deputy PM arrives on visit to Myanmar

Xinhua, June 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan arrived Nay Pyi Taw Wednesday on a two-day visit to Myanmar, according to official sources.

Wongsuwan's trip came three days after Myanmar State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi concluded her trip to Thailand.

During his stay in Myanmar, Wongsuwan is expected to meet with President U Htin Kyaw and Suu Kyi, who is also foreign minister.

Wongsuwan will also hold talks with Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Service Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing and Defense Minister Lt-Gen Sein Win on military cooperation, reports said.

Aung San Suu Kyi visited Thailand from June 23 to 25, during which three documents including a memorandum of understanding on labor cooperation, an agreement on cooperation in the employment of workers and a trans-boundary agreement were signed.

In May, Min Aung Hlaing also visited the neighboring country, bringing the two countries' military cooperation to a new high. Enditem
