US embassy cable - 05BANGKOK4429

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) On July 5, the Ambassador delivered Ref A talking points 
to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Permanent Secretary Krit 
Garnjana-Goonchorn.  Nongnuth Phetcharatana, the MFA Director 
General for American and South Pacific Affairs, and visiting 
EAP DAS Eric John were also present.  Krit and Nongnuth were 
receptive to the possibility of Thai participation in the 
Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), noting the 
additional opportunity for Thai forces to train alongside 
U.S. forces would most likely be welcomed the Royal Thai 
Government.  Krit stated that he would discuss the GPOI 
proposal with Foreign Minister Kantathi Suphamongkhon prior 
to the Secretary's visit to Phuket early next week.
