The Singapore Government expresses its understanding on the Thai Government's decision to postpone the 14th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits scheduled to take place in Pattaya, Thailand on 10-12 April 2009.
Singapore knows that the Thai Government has put in maximum effort to host successful Summits, but in the end it decided to ensure the safety of the delegates ahead of other considerations. We support and understand the decision and hope that these Summits will be reconvened as soon as possible.
