Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has accepted an invitation to discuss the framework for the new constitution, Borwornsak Uwanno, chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee, said on Wednesday.
He also hoped that Pheu Thai party will provide opinions on the issue. Borwornsak said Abhisit had already expressed his willingness to voice his opinions and suggestions on the framework and the content of the permanent constitution.
Abhisit, however, has requested that the discussion be pushed back to November 24 instead of next Tuesday as earlier scheduled, as he would be overseas.
As for the rumours that the Pheu Thai Party will not accept the invitation, Borwornsak said the party had the right to refuse as it was not mandatory. However, he hoped the party would take part in the discussions as doing so would make for a positive atmosphere in the country.
