Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra convened an urgent meeting with top security officials to address the critical fuel shortage in Myawaddy township, Myanmar.
The fuel crisis in Myawaddy stems from Thailand's February 5th decision to cut electricity, petrol, and internet supplies to the area.
The meeting's primary objective is to evaluate the situation and determine whether to relax these restrictive measures imposed by Thailand.
Concurrently, Thai officials met with the UNODC to discuss combating scamming and human trafficking in Myanmar, agreeing on international cooperation and victim support.
