Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont is scheduled to hold formal talks Monday with Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The Malaysian leader, accompanied by his foreign minister Syed Hamid Albar, flew into Thailand's southern resort island of Phuket Sunday
for a three-day official visit and dialogue of varied issues. He joined his Thai counterpart for a round of golf and held informal discussions Sunday, but details of their discussions have not yet been released.
The two leaders will have an audience with His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in Bangkok Monday before entering into a formal discussion at Government House.
The Thai prime minister said Monday morning that Sunday's talks did not go into detail, but the insurgency in the far south, where most of the population is ethnic Malay, tops the agenda for Monday's bilateral talks.
