“Wan Nor” sees peace talks as not going anywhere, but must be done

Wan Nor' sees peace talks as not going anywhere, but must be done, points out that the agreement on a safe area is not yet finalized, but if it is done, the suffering will be reduced, bilateral discussions with Cambodia, asking Thailand to connect the railway to Cambodia, the future is Vietnam-China. The 45th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly in Lao PDR has entered its 4th day. Mr. Van Muhammad Nor Matha, President of the National Assembly, held a bilateral discussion with Samdech Phra Sapasakdi Khuan Soedary, President of the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Cambodia asked for assistance in improving border transportation between the two countries to facilitate the transportation of goods, trade, and tourism. It also wanted to connect more railway routes because it can transport a large amount of goods by train and is cheaper. From now on, the railway route will connect Thailand-Cambodia to Vietnam and China. As for Thailand, it can go all the way to Malaysia-Singapore to complete the circle. A s for the call center gang that uses Cambodia to deceive Thais, the Cambodian Prime Minister has helped to the fullest extent to arrest them. Now, the network has fled to the border and is using the method of connecting the waves directly to Thailand. This requires the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society and the NBTC to resolve this issue. Then there was a bilateral discussion with Tan Sri Dato' Johari bin Abdul, Speaker of the Malaysian House of Representatives, where the Thai side requested that Malaysia facilitate the issuance of visas and work permits for Thais or foreigners who go to work as waiters in Thai restaurants so that they can stay without breaking the law and not steal jobs from Malaysians because those there do not do it, just like Thais who do not want to do certain jobs, to which Malaysia agreed to discuss with the Minister of Home Affairs because some laws may need to be amended. In addition, I would like both countries to facilitate road tourism, so that when crossing the border, the re is no need to change vehicles, but can drive to various tourist destinations. This will require further discussion with the Ministry of Transport and relevant police officers. While Malaysia wants Thailand to share knowledge on food security, especially agricultural technology, and is ready to support Thailand's land bridge project or the digging of the Kra Canal because Malaysia will also benefit. After this, both countries will go to work out the details to discuss again at the 46th ASEAN Parliamentary Meeting, which Malaysia is hosting. As for the unrest in the southern border provinces, this time we did not discuss with Malaysia because of limited time. We will discuss again next time. However, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor believes that even though the peace talks of many governments have not gone anywhere, everything depends on intention and sincerity under the constitution. Talking is better than not talking. Talking and making progress little by little is still good. We need to talk often and find a prog ressive solution, such as finding an area to guarantee that both sides will not have an incident or a safe area. If we can do this, there will be investment, tourists will come to visit, the economy will improve, and the people's suffering will be reduced. 'Actually, there used to be a designated area of ??1 district per province, which incidents did not occur, or if they did, they were very rare. But when it comes to expanding from 1 district to 2 or 3 districts, there are obstacles, it is not yet settled. But I would like to expand to 2-3 districts at a time so that it will be complete. When there is a safe area, political differences and decentralization of power will take time to discuss. But if there is no safe area, it will be difficult to discuss other matters.' As for MPs and Senators, as members of the Thai parliament, they have dispersed to attend meetings of various committees, such as the Committee on Politics, Economics, Social Affairs, ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly Affairs, and the ASEAN Youth Parliamentarians Meeting. Mr. Rangsiman Rome, a party-list MP of the Prachachon Party, gave an interview after the meeting of the Political Affairs Committee, saying that he had discussed the unrest in Myanmar, which required jointly finding solutions through ASEAN mechanisms in order to ease the situation. In addition, the meeting discussed solutions to transnational crimes, which ASEAN member states are also facing, as well as considering a draft resolution on promoting parliamentary cooperation in supporting digital equality (the call center gang problem) in order to enhance the potential of the people.
