A 4-day trip to Burma by a 14 person delegation led by Maehongson governor Kamthorn Thavornsathit, 29 May-2 June, ended without any results to show. The group had been planning to discuss reopening of border trade. “There are only junior officials who were not authorized to negotiate but only to entertain us,” said one of the delegates. (SHAN)
