THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instructed Thai embassies and consulates around the world to ensure safety for Thai nationals, following the attack on a Thai consulate in Turkey three days ago.
Sek Wannamethee, director-general of the ministry’s Department of Information, said Friday that Thai missions overseas were also instructed to increase security measures within their compounds.
The move came after some 200 Turkish protesters stormed into the Thai honorary consulate in Istanbul on Wednesday night, in protest at Thailand’s deportation of more than 100 Uighur Muslims to China.
