Political attaches from 20 countries met Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Friday for a briefing on political situation, the party spokesman said.

Democrat spokesman Ong-art Klampaiboon said Abhisit met the envoys and foreign reporters at the party for about one and a half hours.

They included political attaches of China, Japan, France, Sweden, Italy, United Kingdom, Malaysia and India.

Ong-art said the meeting was held because political attaches of some countries asked the party to brief them on the charges against the Democrat.

He said Abhisit explained to the envoys and foreign journalists as to why the Democrat faced the chares and how the party got involved and told that the current political crisis happened from the unrighteous dissolution of the House.

Ong-art said the envoys also asked Abhisit how the Democrat would deal with the situation in the deep South if it became the leader of the next government. Abhisit replied that the Democrat would make the problems in the deep South a public agenda.
