Myanmar military chief Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing (left), exchanged gifts with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on a visit to Government House last August. I have had a close relationship with Thai generals starting with [chief of Defence Forces] Gen Tanasak Patimapragorn's predecessor, Gen Songkitti [Jaggabatara]. His successors are Gen Worapong [Sanganetra] and Gen Sommai [Kaotira] then Gen Surapong [Suwana-adth] and the current chief, Gen Thanchaiyan Srisuwan]. The close relationship led to trust and a better relationship between your military and mine.
