Thai Parliament President Chuan Leekpai seeks to unite all sectors, including anti-establishment protesters, for constructive discussions to find long-term solutions to the current political conflict.
He invited several former Prime Ministers to gather their experienced views on defusing the political situation, clarifying that their participation doesn't mandate joining the proposed Reconciliation Committee.
While some former PMs have accepted the invitation for discussions, the Reconciliation Committee faces hurdles, with the Opposition awaiting structural clarity and anti-establishment protesters rejecting it outright, demanding the Prime Minister's resignation first.

Yesterday 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
