泰国副总理兼外长西哈萨访问缅甸：与敏昂莱商讨边境安全与跨境河流污染
泰国副总理兼外交部长西哈萨·蓬格缴（Sihasak Phuangketkeow）11月12日访问缅甸，将与缅甸领导人敏昂莱（Min Aung Hlaing）、缅甸副总统与缅甸外交部长丁蒙瑞（Tin Maung Swe）会面，商讨边境安全、缅甸局势、边境贸易与跨境河流污染等迫切问题，其中疑受上游采矿影响的河流水质问题是泰方关注的焦点。泰国位于东南亚，缅甸是其西部邻国。
泰国政府发言人11月12日在曼谷总理府表示，西哈萨当天已率军方各军种与自然资源和环境部团队前往缅甸。泰国外交部表示，双方将讨论的迫切问题包括边境安全、加速治理河流污染、减少跨境贸易壁垒与缅甸局势发展；西哈萨前一天在记者会上说，泰国希望推动缅甸重新参与东盟事务，并期待看到更多正面进展，但缅甸何时、以何种方式重返东盟，最终取决于缅甸政府与各方。
河流污染的源头疑在缅甸掸邦。泰国污染控制局2025年证实，泰北地区的湄公河、郭河与赛河等河流，重金属与砷的浓度已达到不安全水平，污染源疑为上游缅甸东北部掸邦境内的矿场。泰国政府发言人说，国际事务需要多层合作，最可行的渠道是先与缅甸中央政府接触、由其居中协调，泰方也将通过湄公河与澜沧江合作框架与中方协调，并计划在下周于菲律宾举行的东盟峰会上，在环境合作议题下提出此问题。
发言人还表示，中国国务院总理11月13日对泰国进行正式访问期间，泰中双方将签署9项谅解备忘录，其中一项是与湄法銮大学共建环境毒素检测实验室，以解决泰国清莱府及北部地区的水污染问题。

Thai Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Sihasak Visits Myanmar for Talks on Border Security and Cross-Border River Pollution
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow visited Myanmar on November 12 for meetings with Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing, its vice president and Foreign Minister Tin Maung Swe, covering border security, the situation in Myanmar, border trade and cross-border river pollution. Water quality in rivers suspected of contamination from upstream mining was a central Thai concern. Thailand is a Southeast Asian country and Myanmar its western neighbor.
A Thai government spokesperson said at Government House in Bangkok on November 12 that Sihasak had traveled to Myanmar with a delegation from the armed services and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Thailand's Foreign Ministry said the urgent agenda included border security, faster action on river pollution, lowering cross-border trade barriers and developments in Myanmar. Speaking to reporters the previous day, Sihasak said Thailand hopes to encourage Myanmar's re-engagement with ASEAN and would like to see more positive progress, while noting that when and how Myanmar returns ultimately depends on the Myanmar government and all parties.
The suspected source of the pollution lies in Myanmar's Shan State. Thailand's Pollution Control Department confirmed in 2025 that heavy metals and arsenic in northern Thai rivers, including the Mekong, the Kok and the Sai, had reached unsafe levels, with mines in northeastern Shan State the suspected source. The spokesperson said the most workable channel is to engage Myanmar's central government as coordinator, that Thailand will also coordinate with China through the Mekong-Lancang Cooperation framework, and that Bangkok plans to raise the issue under the environmental cooperation agenda at next week's ASEAN summit in the Philippines.
The spokesperson added that during the Chinese premier's official visit to Thailand starting November 13, Thailand and China are to sign nine memorandums of understanding, one of them to build an environmental toxin testing laboratory with Mae Fah Luang University to address water pollution in Chiang Rai Province and the north.
