Colombo, Oct 24 (PTI) Thailand is considering adopting the strategy used by Sri Lanka in dealing with Tamil Tiger rebels in its efforts to contain insurgency in the country.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday held talks with his Sri Lankan counterpart, Ratnasiri Wickremanayake on the Lankan government's success in putting down the LTTE, the Bangkok Post said in a report.

Acting Thai spokesman Panitan Wattanayakorn said the government was interested in "negotiation approaches" used by Sri Lanka and its measures to squeeze the Tamil Tigers' sources of funding, the newspaper said on Friday.

Strengthening cooperation with neighbouring countries to keep an eye on separatist movements outside the country was another interesting approach, Wattanayakorn said.

"These measures were maintained in tandem with pressuring the Tamil Tiger rebels to engage in talks with the national government to end the violence.
