Myanmar army chief meets with Prayut

THAILAND IS ready to work with the new government of Myanmar and expand cooperation in all aspects, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday told Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of Myanmar’s armed forces.

The Myanmar general is in Bangkok for a three-day official visit ending today at the invitation of Thailand's Armed Forces.

Prayut told the general that the two countries' armies would cooperate more closely particularly on security and border development issues. The prime minister added that he was glad that senior officials of both countries met regularly to develop relations and cooperate for the benefit of people.
