泰国外长欢迎美国重新接触缅甸：东盟11月马尼拉峰会将深入商讨缅甸前景
曼谷——泰国外长 Sihasak Phuangketkeow 10月23日接受路透社采访时表示，泰国欢迎美国重新与缅甸接触，并预计东盟11月在马尼拉举行的峰会将就如何处理缅甸问题展开深入讨论。缅甸自2021年政变后一直被排除在东盟高层会议之外。
据 Sihasak 介绍，美国与缅甸军方支持的政府两周前在东京举行了会谈，这是一个月内的第二次会面，显示华盛顿正加紧与政变后疏远的缅甸将领重新接触。Sihasak 同时兼任泰国副总理。他说：「我们不希望看到缅甸被孤立，不希望缅甸成为地缘政治角力的舞台……所以美国的接触是我们欢迎的。」他同时表示，接触「并不意味着让这个政权合法化」，其目的是鼓励和平解决冲突、与反对派和解。
Sihasak 说，东盟的立场已出现「一些转变」，其迹象包括缅甸总统敏昂莱近期先后访问老挝、柬埔寨、越南、泰国与马来西亚（本站10月7日曾报道敏昂莱访问马来西亚）；但马尼拉峰会是否会讨论恢复缅甸的完整代表资格，目前尚不明确。他说：「我们将就如何处理缅甸问题进行一次非常实质、非常广泛、非常深入的讨论，这是好事。」
采访还涉及泰柬关系。Sihasak 表示，尽管目前进展有限，泰国与柬埔寨仍有可能在12至18个月内解决长期存在的陆地与海上边界争端，但前提是先建立互信、处理边境沿线的安全关切——两国边境此前发生过冲突。柬埔寨已于今年6月依据《联合国海洋法公约》启动调解程序，此前泰国在致命边境冲突后于5月终止了2001年的联合开发框架，首次调解会议约在一个月前举行。海上争端的核心是泰国湾约2.6万平方公里的重叠主张海域，据信蕴藏价值约3000亿美元的油气资源；Sihasak 说，泰方希望先划定边界，再谈资源分享。他还表示，泰国与欧盟的自由贸易协定谈判已进入最后阶段，若双方有政治意愿，可在年底前完成。

Thailand Welcomes U.S. Engagement With Myanmar, Expects ASEAN Summit Talks on the Country's Future
BANGKOK — Thailand welcomes the United States' engagement with Myanmar and expects discussions at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' November summit in Manila on how to proceed with the member barred from the bloc's top meetings since the 2021 coup, Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow told Reuters on Friday, October 23.
The United States and Myanmar's military-backed government held talks in Tokyo two weeks ago, their second meeting in a month, as Washington steps up re-engagement with the generals it shunned after the coup. "We don't want to see Myanmar isolated, we don't want Myanmar to be an arena for geopolitical rivalry … so the US engagement is something that we welcome," said Sihasak, who is also Thailand's deputy prime minister. Engagement "does not mean legitimizing the regime," he added, but aims to encourage peaceful conflict resolution and reconciliation with the opposition.
He said there was "some shift in ASEAN's position," citing Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing's recent visits to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia — GSM reported the Malaysia visit on October 7 — but said it was unclear whether the Manila summit would address restoring Myanmar's full representation. "It's good that we're going to have a very substantive, very extensive, and very in-depth discussion on how to proceed on Myanmar," he said.
Sihasak also said Thailand and Cambodia could resolve their longstanding land and maritime boundary disputes within 12 to 18 months despite limited progress, cautioning that confidence-building and the security concerns along the land border, where clashes have occurred, must come first. Cambodia launched a conciliation process under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in June, after Thailand terminated a 2001 joint development framework in May following deadly border clashes; the first meeting was held about a month ago. "Right now, we haven't achieved, to be very frank, much progress," he said. The maritime dispute centers on overlapping claims to about 26,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of Thailand, believed to hold oil and gas reserves worth around $300 billion; Thailand wants the boundary defined before discussing resource-sharing, he said. Thailand-EU free-trade talks are in their final stage and could conclude by year-end if there is mutual political will, he added.
