US hopeful referendum will bring about reconciliation
Play
US Ambassador to Thailand Glyn T Davies said Friday the US’s stance on Thailand remains the same - to see it become a strong country built on freedom and democracy.
He believes August’s referendum on the draft charter will drive the country in line with the “road map” to a return to democracy.
He said the US considered the referendum to have been carried out in a fairly free and fair manner and could plausibly bring reconciliation to the country.
He spoke after meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan Friday.
The meeting was held in preparation for the upcoming Asean Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Hawaii.
