US envoy plans Thailand mission

William Burns will hold a "strategic dialogue" with officials in Bangkok

WASHINGTON — A senior US envoy will head this week to Thailand for talks with the politically torn ally on a trip that will also take him to Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines, officials said Wednesday.

William Burns, the State Department's number three, will hold a "strategic dialogue" with officials in Bangkok on Friday and deliver a speech on US-Thai relations at Chulalongkorn University, the State Department said.

Thailand, the oldest US ally in Asia, is tense after street protests ended in a bloody army crackdown in May. The anti-government "Red Shirt" movement has supported US mediation, to which the government is opposed.

Burns will head Saturday to Phnom Penh for events marking the 60th anniversary of relations between Cambodia and the United States before heading to Indonesia, with which President Barack Obama has been seeking stronger ties.

He will round off his trip Monday and Tuesday in the Philippines, another close US ally, for talks with the new administration of President Benigno Aquino, the State Department said.

The Obama administration has sought to build relations with Southeast Asia, believing the previous George W. Bush administration neglected the comparatively calm region due to its preoccupation with Iraq and Afghanistan.

Burns's visit "to these Southeast Asian partners is an important element of the administration's commitment to increased and deepened engagement with this dynamic region," the State Department said in a statement.

Burns is the under secretary of state for political affairs, the top position for career US diplomats.

    mr. secretary of state, may i suggest that when we deal with cambodia, we should ask ourselves what does cambodia lack? a lot, i say. cambodia can use a lot of reforms in many gov't sector like the judicial system needs to be independent, there ought to be a term mandate for top gov't position like premiership, etc., the education system needs reforms to include critical thinking skills or analytical skills for students, the social services is lacking, etc, etc... i think the US can make demand for all of this in order to help cambodia to become self-sufficient in gov't and so forth and to be a better partner in the world and the US, i'm sure. these are some of the thing the good american friends can do to reform cambodia. i mean sometimes cambodia can't see it, so we need a good friend (s) like america to be our mirror to tell us and scratch our back sometimes, etc... i think cambodia wants very much to be a good friend with the US, please don't count us out again. god bless cambodia.
