BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, is scheduled to visit Myanmar on 12 November 2026. The visit aims to strengthen ASEAN collaboration and support Myanmar in ending the current conflicts.
The mission comes at an important time, as ongoing fierce fighting continues to affect communities on the Thai side of the border. It offers a valuable opportunity to support peace efforts in Myanmar.
Furthermore, the visit takes place just before the 49th ASEAN Summit in Manila, the Philippines, on 16-18 November. The Deputy is expected to carry forward the Thai government’s efforts to restore relations between Myanmar and ASEAN, and to help reduce tension and violence so that conditions are more favorable for peace negotiations.
Beyond political and security matters, the pressing issue of transboundary water pollution, particularly in the Kok River, will also be a key topic of discussion. Through dialogue and cooperation, Thailand remains committed to supporting peace, stability, and the well-being of communities on both sides of the border. (PRD)
