The Thai leader met Putin two weeks ago in Kazakhstan, where he went to attend the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia.

Thaksin said Russia has an abundant supply of oil and gas, and cooperation between the two countries should enable Thailand to take a major role in regional energy activities.
