Violence cannot be used as leverage in Southern peace talks – NSC chief

14 Sept 04:42Key points summarised by AI

The Thai government firmly states that recent violence by insurgents will not be tolerated as leverage in peace talks, emphasizing its commitment to negotiations while prosecuting those responsible.
A surge in violence, including the killing of paramilitary rangers, led to the suspension of peace talks; the government demands an explanation from the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) as a prerequisite for resuming dialogue.
The new chief of peace dialogue is actively gathering input from local communities in the southern provinces, aiming to incorporate their safety concerns and perspectives into future peace discussions.
Thailand continues to rely solely on Malaysia for facilitating peace talks and tracking perpetrators, denying reports of seeking assistance from Indonesia, despite ongoing challenges regarding BRN's control over ground operatives.
