THAILAND : The Foreign Ministry's permanent secretary Sihasak Phuangketkeow, as of yesterday, still waiting for a meeting with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to be confirmed.
They hope to brief UN chief about the post-coup situation in Thailand.
Foreign Ministry said yesterday that Sihasak was waiting to hear from Ban's office if they can meet before Sihasak returns home tomorrow night.
As of when Thailand's political conflict was degenerating into crisis few months ago, Ban offered to mediate and met with politicians from the then ruling Pheu Thai and opposition Democrat parties.
Sihasak will also hold talks with high-level representatives from ECOSOC member states.
