I believe this particular visit by "Senior General Than Shwe and his
40-strong delegation including junta first secretary Lt.Gen Khin Nyunt,
Foreign Minister Win Aung and Border,Ethnic Development Minister Major
Gen Thein Nyunt is nothing more than to try to contain the Burmese
junta's direct involvement in narcotic narcotics trade in the Golden
Triangle area and to cool down the clashes between Thai and Burmese Navy
and fishing boats in the disputed areas of the Andaman Sea off
southwestern Thailand in exchange for Thailand' assured support to try
to get Burma accepted for the forth coming EU meeting in Berlin.
There could be no other reasons for Than Shwe's to visit to Thailand at
this point of time when Thailand could not afford to think of further
investment in Burmese economy. What more can you expect to achieve from
this visit of "Ali Ba Ba of Burma and his 40-thieves" to Thailand.
