Army chief visits southern border provinces
Army Commander-in-Chief Gen Apirat Kongsompong is visiting southern border provinces from Saturday to Monday to deliver his policies, an Army spokeswoman said.
Col Sirichan Ngathong, Army deputy spokeswoman, said Apirat was visiting security agencies in the deep South to hand down his policies for security and other developments.
Sirichan said the new Army chief wants to isolate normal violent incidents from insurgency attacks so that society will be informed of the real situation in the deep South.
She said the Army chief also wants security in the Deep South to foster close ties with their counterparts in Malaysia to cooperate on security and other developments in the region.
