During the meeting, they discussed matters related to Myanmar workers' difficulties and decided to open a call centre in Thailand that would provide assistance from charitable organisations and the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare.

At the end of the discussion, both parties agreed on an array of issues – to try and resolve disagreements between employers and workers, to implement measures ensuring against labour and human rights violations, and to carry out inspections of Thaiowned industries, according to a report on the website of the Aid Alliance Committee (AAC).
