VLADIVOSTOK: Thailand is taking steps to stabilise its southern region, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak following a bilateral meeting with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on the sidelines of the ongoing APEC 2012 Economic Leaders Meeting, here.
The unrest came on the anniversary of the 1989 founding of an umbrella separatist group that combined four Thai separatist movements, as well as the anniversary of Malaysia's independence from British rule.
Najib said Malaysia had also indicated that it would be cooperating with Thailand on the issue of rubber pricing, with the fall in the price of the commodity.
"We need to work together (on this) with Indonesia, under the International Tripartite Rubber Council (ITRC)," he said, adding that a joint commission foreign ministers meeting would be held next month on the matter.
Briefing Malaysian journalists here on the outcome of his bilateral meetings with several state leaders here today, Najib said the Thailand-Kedah border areas also had good potential for further development.
He said that during the meeting with Shinawatra, he had also discussed how to develop a "Rubber City" there with rubber based industries as the basis.
Other industries, such as energy-related, would be also looked into, he added. Bernama
