&lt;div&gt;BANGKOK (AP) - Thanat Khoman, who as Thailand's foreign minister helped cement his country's close relations with the United States during the Vietnam War, has died at age 101, his family announced. His death was attributed to natural causes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;U.S. diplomats who dealt with Thanat described him admiringly as shrewd and above all, dedicated to seeking advantage for his country. Shifting international politics saw Thanat move from being an advocate of close links to Washington to a promoter of regional balance by establishing relations with China, which had been a Cold War bogeyman.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;He defended Thailand's interests with grit and grace,&amp;quot; U.S. Ambassador to Thailand Glyn Davies said in a statement after Thanat's death Thursday.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;FILE - In this Oct. 3, 1961, file photo, then-Thailand's Foreign Minister Thanat Khomanthen, left, talks with then-U.S. President John F.

Returning to Thailand before the war ended, he joined the anti-Japanese underground.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;He resumed his diplomatic career with a posting in Washington in 1946-47, returning there as ambassador in 1957-58. He was named foreign minister in 1959, a job he held until 1971, when he was dismissed in a move thought to be linked to his advocacy of rapprochement with China.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Thanat's name is most closely associated with the Rusk-Thanat Communique of 1962 - issued with then-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk - which pledged that the  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html du lịch Bắc Kinh] United States would come to Thailand's aid in case it faced aggression.

Diplomatic relations were established with China in 1975, after Thailand's military rulers had been ousted and U.S.-backed governments in neighboring Indochina were defeated by communist forces. By 1976, the U.S. military was gone.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Thanat Khoman was a convinced nationalist and worked well with the United States, as long as he felt the relationship was mutually beneficial,&amp;quot; veteran U.S. diplomat John Gunther Dean recalled in a 2000 oral history interview for the State Department. &amp;quot;As time went on, Thanat's close relationship with the United States became progressively more strained and he became vocally critical of the U.S. on many subjects.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Thanat favored Asians working together in their own national interest and not relying on one single foreign power for leadership,&amp;quot; said Dean, the U.S. envoy to Thailand in 1981-85.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Thanat, whose survivors include daughter-in-law Sirilaksana Khoman, a leading anti-corruption activist, is to be cremated after traditional Buddhist funeral rites.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Advertisement&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
