"The navy will abide by the Thai-US agreement about the salvage operation," he said. "The fact that the US is to assist us in the matter during the joint Cobra Gold next month is not a normal procedure but a momentous example of cooperation." He said the US would also help find the remains of the five missing crew and establish the cause of the incident. His statement also responded to a report in October that the navy would select a Thai contractor with Chinese partnership in the salvage mission. The exercise will include Muay Thai training and activities tied to space domain awareness and operations, Mr Jirayu said.
