The line of communications between the government and the red shirts has been activated, Korbsak Sabhavasu, secretary general to the prime minister, said on Friday.
Korbsak said he made a call to red-shirt leader Weng Tojirakarn to introduce himself as the chief negotiator in charge of clearing up any misunderstanding which may arise during the mass rally.
He said he emphasised to Weng about the coordination to thwart any disturbances. But his mission was not about trying to achieve a political settlement with the red shirts, he added.
