UAE worries Thaksin's use of Dubai as political base

His video link clearly showed that he spoke from Dubai of UAE despite the fact that Thaksin was earlier warned that he should not use the country as a political base to criticise Thailand and the government, Panich said.

"Earlier UAE government had talked to Khun Thaksin and warned him about the matter. UAE also sent a document concerning the meeting with Thaksin to the Thai government," he said.

Therefore, what is important now is that the UAE government has to take action on the matter so that it would not affect on the mutual relationship.

"We already contacted UAE government on Monday and it promised us that such incident would not happen again. We will wait and see," he said.

Some countries that Thaksin had visited and used them as political base to attack Thailand have expressed concerns and worries to the Thai government. They claimed that they had requested Thaksin not to do so but failed.
