Thailand will continue its policy of negotiating for peace in southern Thailand despite expressing frustration that the Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu-Patani (BRN) did not show up at the last scheduled talks in Kuala Lumpur.
The latest dialogue took place in the Malaysian capital from March 14-17 to further develop a technical framework for the Joint Comprehensive Plan towards Peace (JCPP). It followed meetings held from Feb 21-23 between the Thai government and the BRN, the main separatist group in the far South.
