The Foreign Ministry has responded to the visit to Brussels by former foreign minister Noppadon Pattama - now a legal adviser to fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra - by saying the contact should not pose any problems for Thailand.
Vimon said Thailand had confidence in the judgement of EU officials who recognised the Thai government had assumed office through democratic means and was determined to settle the problems in a restrained, peaceful manner.
On May 20, the European Parliament acknowledged Prime Minister Abhisit's reconciliation plan and passed a resolution encouraging Thailand to resolve its situation through democratic and peaceful means
Meanwhile, Vimon said, Baroness Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, had expressed hope on May 21 that the five point roadmap proposed by Abhisit could be the basis for a pragmatic solution.
The Royal Thai Embassy in Brussels, as well as those in other EU member countries, has been keeping European governments and the European Parliament abreast of the progress being made on all aspects of the reconciliation plan.
