Exim bank to complete Burma loan
Govt to boost economic ties with junta

By Post reporters

The Export-Import Bank of Thailand is cleared to hand Burma any remaining funds from a four-billion-baht soft loan to the junta that had been suspended due to alleged irregularities, Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said yesterday.

Thailand will also push ahead with construction of the Tasang hydropower dam and other infrastructure projects in Burma, he added.

The fresh move came as Thailand tried to foster closer economic ties with Burma following the first official visit to the country on Friday by Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej since he took office last month.

The issue of outstanding money from the loan was not tabled for discussion when Mr Samak and other Thai officials met with Burma's junta leaders including Sen Gen Than Shwe on Friday in the country's new capital of Naypyidaw.

Asked in Bangkok about the future of the loan meant to help improve Burma's infrastructure facilities, Mr Noppadon said the government will not allow political wrangles in Thailand to obstruct attempts to strengthen relations with Burma and other neighbours. Thailand's internal problems ''have no effect on the right of Burma to get the money,'' he told a press conference.

It remains unclear how much of the four-billion-baht loan has yet to be handed to the ruling junta in Burma.

Mr Noppadon said yesterday that only one billion baht had been given to Burma so far; however, the bank said in a statement released in September last year that all but 341 million baht of the loan had already been handed over.

The loan was signed between the Export-Import Bank of Thailand and the Myanmar Foreign Trade Bank in June 2004, when then premier Thaksin Shinawatra was in power.

However, the military-appointed Assets Scrutiny Committee (ASC), set up by the coup makers after ousting Thaksin's government from power in 2006, agreed in August last year to press criminal charges against the former premier for alleged abuse of his position in ordering a one-billion-baht increase in the amount of the loan, allegedly for the benefit of his family's satellite and broadband businesses.

The additional money was approved for the Burmese government to develop telecommunications facilities, including buying goods and services from the satellite broadband and fibre-optic firm Shin Satellite Co, according to the ASC.

The panel has not yet forwarded the charges on the loan to prosecutors.

The Burmese junta also raised the issue of the 7,110-megawatt Tasang dam, which Thailand won a concession to build 10 years ago. There has been little progress since then however.

Mr Noppadon said the government would urge the private sector to go ahead with the project, which would boost energy security for the kingdom.

The Tasang dam is the largest of the proposed hydroelectric projects on the Salween River in Burma's Shan State, about 130 kilometres from the Thai-Burmese border.

The 228-metre-high dam is slated to be the tallest dam in all of Southeast Asia. The reservoir will flood hundreds of square kilometres of land, according to Salween Watch, a coalition of NGOs based in Chiang Mai which monitors the issue.

Thai firm MDX signed an agreement with the Burmese junta in 2002 to develop the project. However, the planned dam has met with stiff opposition from environmentalists and other activists because it could force several thousand people to leave their homes and land and move elsewhere.

Thailand has also pledged to develop the Tavoy deep-sea port in Burma to open trade and investment links with western Thailand, Mr Noppadon said.

Thailand is one of Burma's biggest investors and trading partners, spending billions of dollars annually to tap into the country's natural gas and hydropower resources.

The kingdom is at odds with the West over ways to deal with Burma's military regime, which sparked global outrage following its deadly crackdown on peaceful protests in September 2007. The United States and the European Union tightened sanctions against Burma's ruling generals after the suppression.
