Group (CTAG) held its first quarterly meeting under the
Chairmanship of UK Ambassador David Fall on April 27. The
group discussed joint cooperation on a wide range of counter
terrorism (CT) related issues in Thailand, focusing on
creation of a RTG/CTAG CT working group, document fraud,
terrorist financing and Thai endorsement of all UN CT related
conventions. CTAG Ambassadors agreed to continue pressing
Thailand towards creation of a RTG/CTAG working group on
counter terrorism and rapid endorsement of the remaining
eight UN CT Conventions which the RTG has not yet ratified.
