Play
Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung will meet Chularatchamontri Aziz Pitakkhumpol next month to discuss the violence in the southern region.
Chalerm said he would ask Aziz during their meeting scheduled for January 7 to record a speech in an attempt to help restore understanding and confidence among the ThaiMuslim communities in the south.
His request to meet Chularatchamontri, the spiritual leader of Muslims in Thailand, follows in an increase in violence in the three southernmost provinces over the past weeks, in which fatal attacks have claimed many lives of people, including teachers and civilians.
