Thailand has joined the fight
against piracy in the Indian
Ocean, sending nearly 400
marines on two vessels to help
police the lawless waters off
Somalia. The 60-day mission
marks the first time Thailand
has contributed to an
international maritime
taskforce.
The international armada, which currently includes regional neighbours China, Singapore, Malaysia and India, has been patrolling the Gulf of Aden since 2008 in a bid to stop pirates from hijacking commercial vessels. |
