The Thai PM told the press that the meeting could take place at the end of this month.

Myanmar and Malaysia have not yet replied to the proposal.

Thai authorities said Songkhla is a regular migrant route of members of the Rohingya ethnic minority and Bangladeshis to third countries, mainly Malaysia.-VNA
