Thai, Burma officials to meet over border conflict

Thailand and Burma have agreed to convene a top-level border committee for the first time in two years to try to resolve a brewing row over conflicts along their shared border.

Thailand`s Defence Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, says Rangoon has agreed to the regional border meeting, which will take place in Burma early next month.

Two sessions of the lower-level Township Border Commission have failed to ease strains sparked by clashes between the two neighbours` armies.

A cross-border checkpoint has been closed since Burmese troops pursuing ethnic rebels strayed into Thailand last month, prompting retaliation by the Thai army and a tense month-long standoff between the two sides.
