Govt urges military rulers to hold talks with protestersThe Foreign Ministry is urging Myanmar's military rulers to hold talks with political dissidents to end the conflict as Thailand prepares for a possible influx of refugees escaping violence there. Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said Thai authorities on the border were assessing the situation in Myanmar to make sure things don't get out of hand. "Some have already arrived," Mr Don said. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha discussed the issue with his deputies, Mr Don said. "We hope that peace will be restored soon or at least an avenue for dialogue should be kept open," Mr Don said.
