Convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been asked to leave Dubai by the government of the United Arab Emirates, a Thai foreign affairs spokesman confirmed on Saturday.
“A high ranking government official of the UAE has confirmed that the fugitive ex-premier has been asked to leave the UAE for having violated an agreement that he would not use the country as base for his political activities,” assistant to the foreign affairs minister Phanich Wikitseth said.
The UAE has sent a signal to Thaksin to stop using it as his political base and causing problems for Thailand and to leave the country, Mr Phanich said.
