The military junta is preparing to hold a celebration to mark the 40th anniversary of Thailand’s and North Korea’s diplomatic relations while North Korea has proposed that Thailand opens an embassy in its capital.

Deputy Prime Minister Wisanu Krue-ngam welcomed Mun Song Mo, Ambassador of North Korea, yesterday morning at Government House as the two countries aim to strengthen ties, according to a report on Thailand’s official government website.

North Korea proposed stronger economic cooperation between the nations and suggested Thailand opens an embassy in Pyongyang to benefit future Thai investors in North Korea and foster cultural exchange.

Wisanu said he has acknowledged the proposal, which will be discussed in several government sectors. In the meantime, he will assign a related organization to organize an event to celebrate their relationship.

Wisanu also thanked North Korea for understanding Thailand’s political situation and acknowledging the legitimacy of the junta government.
