CrazyExpat Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thailand warned the United States against meddling in its political affairs on Wednesday, saying many Thais had been hurt by the remarks of a visiting U.S. envoy who took a swipe at the ruling military junta's undemocratic practices.Thailand, a long-time U.S. ally, remains under martial law following a coup last May, and the junta says a general election is at least a year away.Relations between the two sides have deteriorated sharply since the coup, with Washington freezing aid and canceling some security engagements.In an address to students at a Bangkok university on Monday, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific Daniel Russel called for more inclusive politics and the end of martial law. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/28/us-thailand-politics-idUSKBN0L10LZ20150128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
