The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, Mari, chaired the first National Security Council meeting, where he instructed the integration of relevant departments to focus on preventing transnational crime and telecommunications fraud. Additionally, Mari set a one-month period to decide whether to temporarily suspend the provision of electricity aid to Myanmar.
After the meeting, Mari stated that the decision to cut off electricity aid to Myanmar would require listening to opinions from all parties. He had delegated the Secretary-General of the National Security Council, Chatchai, to communicate with all parties to ensure that decisions are made after thorough consideration.
When asked which departments were responsible for this matter, Mari indicated that the work of the committee had been entrusted to the Secretary-General of the National Security Council for further consultation, and the final decision would be made by the full meeting of the National Security Council.
Regarding whether the decision-making process would require more time, Mari emphasized that after discussions, it would be expedited, with a timeline set to complete within one month, ensuring a balance and fairness of interests among all parties.
In response to reports that a senior police official had cooperated with a casino in Myanmar, Mari announced that an investigation would be launched, emphasizing that all actions must be transparent and subject to scrutiny.
Additionally, Mari mentioned that the power company had sent a letter to the Southeast Asia Affairs Department, but had not received a response. The matter was discussed in the meeting, and although it had not yet entered the detailed discussion phase, he stressed that all issues should be submitted to the meeting for deliberation to ensure full integration and clarity of information.
