Asean Summit to proceed inspite of protest: Suthep

Suthep said he would try to reason with the red shirts to end the blockade of the meeting venue in Pattaya.

He did not specify the next step if talks failed. He only said certain procedures might have to be adjusted in order to open up access for government leaders to enter the meeting venue.

Government leaders are on their way to the Summit. They are scheduled to arrive at U-Tapao airport before proceeding by motorcade to the meeting. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has already arrived earlier in the morning before the red shirts reaching Pattaya close to noon.
