Thailand helping India combat cross-border terrorism:Thai PM

Bangkok, Sep 19 (UNI) Thailand is cooperating with India in tackling cross-border terrorism, Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said here today.

Talking to UNI after a meeting with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, the Thai head of government said he had no knowledge of the reported arrest of a top level Tiger operative in Thailand.

''I don't have any information at the moment, but we are trying to help each other by taking care of what we may say...the terrorist organisation...not only Sri Lankan one but also terrorists who may practice cross-border terrorism,'' he said.

Mr Surayud said he expected the India-Thai FTA to be signed some time early next year.
