Thai Buddhist and Muslim Relations

Apparently five senior Thai Buddhist monks arrived in Egypt on Sunday for an official visit with the Sunni Muslims’ highest spiritual leader:

Both sides were expected to exchange religious teachings which could help reduce misunderstanding and mistrust between Thai Buddhists and Thai Muslims in Thailand’s deep south, which has led to renewed violence and the deaths of around 3,000 people over the past four years.

Last year, Sheikh Tantawi visited Thailand and visited the acting Thai Buddhist monks leader.

I've never heard anything about the Muslims in Thailand having any special recognition for any spiritual leaders in Egypt, but hopefully the talks will be useful somehow.
