Fri, June 29, 2007 : Last updated 14:21 pm (Thai local time)

Malaysia will help improve education and employment opportunities in insurgency-plagued southern Thailand, the two countries agreed yesterday.

Government spokesman Yongyuth Maiyalarp said Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont and Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar agreed at a meeting in Bangkok that Malaysia would sponsor 4,000 students from the South to receive vocational training in Malaysia as part of a programme to help improve education in the area. He said the two governments would also work together to boost employment opportunities and the economy in Thailand's three southernmost provinces, which are among the country's poorest.
