Minister Prayut Chan-ocha and his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohamad
discussed security cooperation during talks in Thailand on October 24,

Speaking to media following the talks, Mohamad pledged to do what he could to bring peace to neighbouring Thailand's insurgency-plagued south, saying that it is not just the case of talking or drawing up treaties, but true cooperation between the two neighbours.
Chan-ocha said both sides better understand each other’s concerns, and affirmed that peace talks between Bangkok and separatists in the south will continue with the support of Malaysia.
He said both sides will expand collaboration in border security, economic development, anti-terrorism and prevention of extremism and trans-national crimes.
