In terms of enhancing bilateral relations between the two countries in a wide range of areas, Ambassador Tizita reminded the director-general about the previously held discussion during her working visit to Thailand to reinitiate the various draft agreements and the technical cooperation between the two countries that remained at a document exchange level, such as the establishment of high-level bilateral political consultation, visa waiver for diplomatic passport holders, a draft on cultural cooperation agreement as well as tourism cooperation agreements.<\/p>\n

Darm Boontham, on his part, thanked the Ambassador for the overall briefing and appreciated the Government\u2019s effort to resolve the conflict peacefully under the African Union leadership.<\/p>\n

He conveyed the interest of Thailand in strengthening the long-standing relations between the two countries and reaffirmed the need to expedite and put into action the various agreements exchanged between the two countries.<\/p>\n
