Civic groups in Thailand's Deep South advocate for parallel peace talks, involving both government-people and people-to-people dialogues, to run alongside existing government-BRN negotiations, aiming to address conflict rooted in mistrust.
The Thai government, while open to public views, plans to establish a more appropriate forum for broader stakeholder participation, concurrently advancing a Joint Comprehensive Plan toward Peace (JCPP) with the BRN to cease violence and find a political solution.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
