Thaksin cancels birthday party in Dubai

Thaksin previously scheduled his party on July 26 and several Pheu Thai MPs were interested in taking the trip to meet him.

Noppadon said Thaksin will take the business trip out of Dubai and that he doubted whether Thaksin's family members have any plans for travelling to meet him at this juncture.

In regard to remarks by Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya on bringing back Thaksin, the legal adviser said other countries, including Malaysia, Montenegro and United Arab Emirates, viewed the Thaksin extradition case as the Thai internal affairs.

None of the countries would want to get involved in the domestic politics and Thai authorities should not try to raise the stakes into a state-to-state issue, he said.
