Tackling telecommunication scams and online fraud requires close cooperation among the countries involved. No country can solve this issue alone.

At the trilateral meeting yesterday with H.E. Liu Zhongyi, Assistant Minister of Public Security of China, and H.E. Aung Kyaw Kyaw, Deputy Union Minister of Home Affairs of Myanmar, we focused on two main issues: crackdown efforts and humanitarian repatriation.

To prevent call center gangs from operating, Thailand will continue measures such as suspending export of electricity, fuel and telecommunication signals at the Thai-Myanmar border. We will also work to share critical data collected from the screening process, including of Chinese victims. We also agreed on a coordination mechanism among the security agencies of our 3 countries, in cooperation with the Thai Police, specifically the Anti Trafficking In Persons Division and the Technology Crime Suppression Division. We will follow this model in other locations with similar problems.

Regarding humanitarian repatriation, we are currently assisting two groups - approx. 5,000 Chinese victims who can be repatriated immediately thanks to the readiness of the Chinese side. As for the remaining 2,000 victims of other nationalities, we will facilitate foreign Embassy officials in verifying their nationals as soon as possible on the Myanmar side. We also asked the Chinese side to work with us in caring for those awaiting repatriation. Additionally, we will strengthen coordination with IOM for additional assistance where needed to ensure a smooth process and prevent any influx into Thailand.

As per PM @ingshin 's policy, our efforts will not stop until all call center scam operations are eliminated.
