Thailand, Myanmar to hold border talks

Thailand's foreign ministry says it will hold new talks with Myanmar aimed at settling the disputed border line between the two countries.  The Bangkok Post reports that the news was released at a weekend seminar in Chiang Mai focused on border disputes between Thailand, Myanmar and Laos.

Thailand and Myanmar share 2,400km of border, of which only about 60km is marked.  It's been seven years since the two countries met to mark the remainder of the boundary.  Vasin Teeravechyan, co-chairman of the Thai-Myanmar Joint Boundary Committee, said the talks are set for October.
