India plays safe on Thailand

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: India played safe on Tuesday's military coup in Thailand — merely taking note of the "evolving situation" in Thailand and the commitment of the "Administrative Reforms Council" to return power to the people at the earliest.

"We attach great importance to our relations with Thailand, a country with which India has ancient civilisational affinities and strong bonds of friendship and cooperation," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

"The Indian community in Thailand is safe," the release added.
