Play
Thailand on Wednesday expressed disappointment at the recent comments made by a US top official, saying the US is interfering with its domestic political situations.
Deputy Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said the statements made by US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russel during his visit in Bangkok had caused “wounds” to Thais.
He was speaking after meeting with Patrick Murphy, charge d’affairs of the US Embassy in Thailand at the Foreign Ministry. The meeting was held at the order of Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha.
Don said Murphy was “invited” to the meeting as Bangkok wanted to explain the facts of the political situations in Thailand.
