" A new problem has emerged between Thailand and Myanmar. The “Wa” forces have invaded the Thai border and set up military bases. Thailand has demanded the Wa forces to retreat from the military bases. And the problems at the Thai border that need to be resolved regularly will be discussed. But it's not easy to solve them. The problems that exist along the Thai-Myanmar border include human trafficking and drug trafficking. Although there are actions and arrests, because people who are having difficulty living within Myanmar, it's difficult to solve it." he said.
