BANGKOK -- Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is exploring the social networking universe in what is seen as a move to get a head start in the popularity stakes before a long-awaited general election that is supposed to take place next year.
"Today I feel glad and honored to have the opportunity to welcome the prime minister of Malaysia and his wife -- a leader of our neighbor with such long established and close ties," the prime minister posted on his new Facebook page, a photo of himself, Mahathir and their spouses. "We have discussed about our co-operations in many areas which will support the development of our country, to continue to grow alongside each other and drive forward the growth of our region in a sustainable way."
