Bangkok concern
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright)
BANGKOK, January 10. The Singapore Prime Minister (Mr Lee Kuan Yew) and Thai leaders have agreed that United States support will be necessary to protect peace in South-East Asia after a Vietnam settlement. This common view emerged from a two-hour meeting Mr Lee had with the Thai Prime Minister (Field - Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn) and other Thai leaders on the second day of Mr Lee’s official visit to Thailand.
The Thai Deputy Foreign Minister (General Chartchai Chunhawan), who took part in the discussions, told reporters afterwards that the real worry was about the kind of cease-fire, which might be violated by the Communists.
Mr Lee and Marshal Thanom, who continued their discussions over a working lunch, agreed that any cease-fire reached by the parties concerned should be guaranteed against Communist violations by an international control commission recognised by the super-Powers. A genuine peace was essential to the region, they said.
