Lift martial law and undertake inclusive reform, US envoy urges

US ASSISTANT Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Russel urged the military government to lift martial law and push for "inclusive" reform toward democracy and reconciliation during his meeting Monday with Foreign Minister Tanasak

“The two held constructive discussions and reaffirmed continuity in relations in all dimensions,” ministry spokesman Sek Wannamethee told reporters.
Russel is the highest ranking US official to stop in Thailand after the coup that brought down the elected government of Yingluck Shinawatra, whom he also met Monday.
