He emphasized that Thailand’s unilateral closure of the border and suspension of the peace deal, witnessed by the U.S. and Malaysia, had severely affected the ASEAN Connectivity and other key ASEAN infrastructure projects such as the ASEAN Highway, the ASEAN Railway, and the ASEAN Regional Power Grid.
