A Southeast Asian migration conference has closed with pledges to fund a regional information campaign aimed at raising awareness among migrants of the hazards of using trafficking networks.
Delegates had previously stated that the meeting must focus on the root causes of migration if it is to avoid such situations as the boat people crisis that swept Southeast Asia earlier this year.
On Saturday, the Bangkok Post reported Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai as saying that Thailand has contributed $100,000 (3.6 million baht) to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) campaign.
"Thailand will also play a leading role in the campaign with the IOM to solve the problem at its root causes," he added.
On Friday, Pramudwinai said that the solution to trafficking must include "prevention" as well as a "cure". (Courtesy of The Journal of Turkish Weekly)
