The meeting at King Prajadhipok's Institute will take place shortly after the return of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva from his one-day visit to Brunei.

The televised talks on March 28, were aimed at defusing political tensions after two weeks of United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship rallies in Bangkok to call for new elections.

Although the prime minister repeated he had no objections to dissolving the parliament to clear the way for new polls, he stressed the need for all parties to resolve all problems before the legislative body was dissolved to ensure that new elections would bring an end to political divisions in the country.

The problems spelled out by the PM included the clear stance on when and how the constitution had to be amended and pledges by all political parties to accept the results of the new polls.

The UDD representatives, however, made clear their demand for the immediate dissolution. Protesters did not want the 2007 constitution as it was a product of the coup which deposed former PM Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006.
