KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, is scheduled to pay a two-day working visit to Malaysia from Sunday to September 7, according to the PR Thai Government.

In its Facebook post on Friday, it noted that the visit would follow up on and advance the issues discussed by the leaders of the two countries during the Thai Prime Minister’s official visit to Malaysia on July 9 to 10.
