There are now discussions going on between the Thai and the Lao governments to try to reunite them with their parents.

That should happen as soon as the two governments agree.

There must have been some kind of arrangement made between the two countries to get the children.

The children are in Laos. The issue (over their reunion) has been raised by both governments.

The president's trip has intensified the pace of discussions among the parties and between the governments, and I think that's good,

“What is a good man but a bad man’s teacher? What is a bad man but a good man’s job? If you don’t understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.”
