July 30 (NMG) Vice-president of Thailand's Foreign Affairs Commission of House Committee, Kopsak Chugikhul gave an explanation on "Road Map" to Burma's democracy in a meeting of "Economic development and Trade" which was held at Mae Sot Hill Hotel on 30 July on the border town of Mae Sot.

The meeting organized by Lower House Committee Foreign Affairs Commission of Thailand, invited businessmen as well as regional authorities.

In the meeting, Mr. Kopsak gave an account of the "Road Map" introduced by Thailand, which contains a process that encompasses democratization, how current military can benefit if they release Aung San Suu Kyi and how the constitution of Burma should be cited and so forth.

Thailand, an immediate neighbor of Burma, is currently facing migrant workers and influx of refugees from Burma. Unless Burmese military government starts walking on national reconciliation process, the internal communities including United Nations may impose various sanctions on Burma and these measures will certainly effect on neighboring Thailand, Mr. Kopsak said.

He also explained how Burmese organizations and international agencies should cooperate in the proposed "Road Map". However no official details were exposed in the meeting.

Thailand's Foreign Minister Surakiart Sathirathai recently hinted at Asia-Europe Meeting at Bali that his government will introduce a "Road Map" on Thursday when he meets Burmese Foreign Minister Win Aung along with leaders of other "soft" countries in Thailand.

Thailand also had proposed a "Road Map" for the cause of Cambodia, Mr Kopask said. Meanwhile Mr. Kopask added that Thailand will continue its efforts to persuade Burma's generals to cooperate with the oppositions.
