Ban Ki-moon offers Thailand help to further reconciliation

UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has offered to help Thailand’s reconciliation efforts through broad-based dialogue following the April-May political riots.

Mr Ban told a news conference yesterday he discussed Thailand’s political situation with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva in talks lasting 45 minutes.

He said he hoped the dialogue on national reconciliation would be conducted in good faith and be an inclusive and broad-based process.

“This is a Thai issue and the issue will be resolved by Thais,” Mr Ban said.
