 Thailand

 Burma has agreed to help stop illegal Burmese immigrants coming to
 Thailand and to work on joint tourism initiatives.

 The 16th Local Thai-Burmese Border Committee meeting, held in
 Mae Sot district on Friday, thrashed out the issues.

 Committee chairman Col Chayutti Boonparn urged Rangoon to stop
 illegal immigration saying it caused Thailand social problems.

 The colonel's Burmese counterpart Maj Tin Ngwe promised to
 toughen up cross-border procedures and stop people crossing at
 non-authorised border points.

 Both countries also agreed to co-organise Songkran and Loy
 Krathong fairs, other festivities and traditional boxing contests.

 Maj Tin Ngwe said he was concerned about the Karen National
 Union allegedly using Thailand as a base for attacks on Burmese
 troops.

 Col Chayutti replied that Thai security forces had done their best to
 prevent such attacks by the anti-Rangoon rebels. He said the situation
 would be solved when the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
 started to help monitor refugee camps in Thailand.
