NEW YORK CITY : Leaders of Thailand and Myanmar have agreed to speed up the Dawei deep-sea port project in eastern Myanmar, planning to announce their development plan in November through the three-level mechanism.

The confirmation came after talks between Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Myanmar President Thein Sein on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Both sides agreed to move forward with the Dawei project, as Myanmar would like to see the three-level mechanism continue its work through meetings, said a source who asked not to be named.

Thailand teaching Myanmar about democracy? How can that be when Thailand never has had, and most likely never will have any government even vaguely resembling a democracy? I think Myanmar will be smart enough to find a better mentor.

She actually meant to say here big brother who has already been to Myanmar to sort things.She has now made it acceptable by talking about the price of eggs but appearing to talk shop.

Burma is working towards democracy and has Thailand's support. How can Thailand support democracy in neighbor countrie? Thai majority still has the problem understand the meaning.The government is even worst than its people.Leave Burma alone . Don't give it any advice about the big word D.. It is going to go beyond Thailand. Trust me.
