Manila: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has assured US
President Barack Obama the government is handling human
right issues
carefully and will try his best to lead the country to
a
sustainable democracy.
Speaking on Wednesday night after the
first-day of the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) leaders summit in
the
Philippines, Gen Prayut said he had a brief conversation
with Mr Obama, who sat
beside him in alphabetic order, about
Thai political developments and human
right issues.
"I assured him we carefully handle the
issues but sometimes misunderstandings are caused by untrue information,
manipulated by those with ill-intentions," Gen
Prayut said.
"I would like to urge media not to report
false information, especially
about human rights issues that lead to
pressures," he added.
Gen Prayut offered the assurance amid international
pressure after
Bangkok deported two Chinese dissidents back to China, even
though they were given refugee status.
Washington has expressed grave disappointment
over the deportations
Regarding political developments, Mr Obama
told Gen Prayut
he knew Thai politics is complicated but still supported
efforts to
restore democracy.
"I assured him I will try my best to
give Thailand a full and sustainable democracy," Gen Prayut said.
During the talks, the premier also thanked the
US president for
sending US ambassador Glyn Davies in Thailand.
"Mr Obama replied he was delighted to
send Mr Davies as the
alliance between two countries is long-standing, and we
cannot
abandon each other," Gen Prayut said.
Deputy government spokesman Werachon
Sukhondhapatipak
said Gen Prayut attended a retreat session on Thursday for the
23rd Apec leaders meeting. He said Thailand supported Apec's
efforts to develop
human capital as it was key to cooperation
among Apec countries.
Maj
Gen Werachon said Gen Prayut also told Asia-Pacific
countries to prepare
themselves for an ageing society which
would present new challenges.
He
also met with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on
Wednesday and agreed to visit Russia in May next year with
a number of agreements
to be signed, according to deputy
government spokesman Werachon
Sukhondhapatipak.
Maj Gen Werachon said Gen Prayut will assign
ministers
overseeing the economy and security to make trips to
Russia prior
to his official visit.
