At the center of this tango is none other than the suave Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maris Sangiampongsa, who recently cleared up any confusion surrounding this high-stakes negotiation game. The MoU is, as Mr. Maris explained, a meticulous framework and mechanism that insists upon joint dialogues between the two nations. It’s a unified front where discussions on maritime boundary delimitation and energy resource development go hand in hand—one simply cannot get a solo without the other, as per the global rulebook.
