Phnom Penh: In a last minute addition to his tour of Southeast Asia, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee would now visit Thailand on November 8 to hold talks with his counterpart Thaksin Shinawatra.

Vajpayee, who is on a five-day visit to Cambodia and Laos, would make a halt at Bangkok for over three hours for "official talks" at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officials said on November 4 night.

The Prime Minister was earlier scheduled to arrive in New Delhi at around 16:00 hours (IST) on November 8 and with the change in schedule, he would return to the capital later that evening.

Issues relating to bilateral co-operation on security and economic matters are likely to figure in the talks, they said.
