Thai Foreign Ministry unaware of Myanmar ambassador’s recall
Thailand's Foreign Ministry confirmed it has not been informed about the reported recall of Myanmar's ambassador, Zaw Zaw Soe, stating it's an internal Myanmar government matter.
The ambassador was reportedly summoned back to Naypyitaw for questioning, according to Myanmar sources and the Irrawaddy news outlet.
Allegations against Zaw Zaw Soe include colluding with Thai-based Myanmar businessmen to transport workers and issuing passports to individuals opposed to the military regime.
The recall occurred just five days after the ambassador met with Thailand’s labour minister to discuss Myanmar migrant worker data and official remittance channels.
