Bangkok:The National Security Council (NSC) is set to brief the Prime Minister on intelligence matters every week, maintaining strict vigilance across all locations until the year's end.

According to Thai News Agency, the Secretary-General of the National Security Council, General Chaiyapruk Duangprapat, confirmed that the Prime Minister has directed officials to prioritize security and intelligence concerns, with a focus on weekly progress reports. Monitoring European protests is part of this directive, though they are not anticipated to trigger a domino effect affecting Thailand. Additionally, a warning letter will be sent to Myanmar to prevent its crackdown on ethnic minorities from impacting border residents.

General Chaiyapruk provided further details during an interview following a meeting held last Saturday at Government House, where the Prime Minister met with heads of government agencies. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of upcoming tasks, particularly those related to security, and urged cooperation and careful attention to responsibilities. The meeting was routine, with the Prime Minister issuing standard instructions to various agencies.

In response to questions about intelligence priorities and areas requiring close monitoring, General Chaiyapruk stated that all areas are under scrutiny, with intelligence agencies providing weekly summaries to the Prime Minister. Urgent cases may require immediate action. Regarding international protests, he noted that relevant intelligence units are assessing the situation, but the likelihood of a domino effect reaching Thailand is low due to the geographical and contextual differences.

Addressing regional concerns, General Chaiyapruk mentioned that the National Security Council is focused on issues surrounding Thailand, such as those in the southern region and along the Thai-Cambodian border. The situation in Myanmar, where fighting is anticipated, is also a priority. With the dry season approaching, there may be an increase in ethnic minority suppression, necessitating instructions to Myanmar to avoid civilian casualties along the border.

When questioned about sending a warning letter to Myanmar, General Chaiyapruk confirmed that relevant local and national parties have been tasked with ensuring that the Myanmar authorities do not cause harm to border communities, emphasizing the multi-level relationship between the two countries.
