Thai riot policemen stand guard outside a hotel - the venue of a meeting of officials from China, Japan, South Korea and ten Southeast Asian nations over swine flu, in Bangkok on May 7, 2009. The World Health Organisation urged Asian nations to remain vigilant against swine flu, warning that a global pandemic remains a threat despite the relatively low death toll so far. The warning came as officials from China, Japan, South Korea and the ten ASEAN nations met in Bangkok amid heavy security to avoid a repeat of anti-government protests that wrecked a regional summit in April.
