Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today left for Delhi at the end of his two-day visit to Thailand, during which he signed an extradition treaty that can pave way for bringing back a key aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

The two countries also firmed up a pact to effectively deal with money laundering, terror financing and ratified a treaty on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, enabling both sides to swap prisoners after they have served a portion of their prison terms.

The two sides signed seven agreements, including cooperation in space technology and education, after wide ranging talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Thai counterpart Yingluck Shinawatra.

An MoU between India's Financial Intelligence Unit and Thailand's Anti Money Laundering Organisation on cooperation in the exchange of intelligence related to money laundering and terrorism financing was also signed.
