BANGKOK, Thailand – Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa expressed support Wednesday (July 10th) for Thailand's attempts to restore peace in the Deep South provinces, according to The Bangkok Post.
"Our position is clear. We are ready to share lessons learned from our own experience, but only in an appropriate way and only when asked by Thailand," he said in remarks at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand in Bangkok.
"We could be part of a solution," he said, citing his country's role in talks between Thailand and Cambodia over border conflicts, and its experience ending a long-running domestic conflict in Aceh. "We don't have to be in the room, but we are out there in an appropriate manner."
Despite three rounds of peace talks between the Thai government and the rebel Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) since February, violence continues on a near-daily basis in the southern provinces.
