The government will begin discussions on national reconciliation with politicians on Valentine's Day, with a ministry spokesman saying the timing is to take advantage of the "day of love". The administration has come up with a set of 10 topics for politicians to contribute ideas regarding how national unity can be achieved. Maj Gen Kongcheep said the meeting marked the start of the process to build unity and extricate the country from its prolonged political conflict. "We will take advantage of Valentine's Day, the day of love, to begin talks on unity," Maj Gen Kongcheep said. The draft proposals will then go to public hearings that the military will organise in all regions, Maj Gen Kongcheep said.
