Excellency,

 

On behalf of the Government and people of Thailand, I would like to express my deep condolences and sincere sympathy to you, and those affected by Cyclone Amphan which struck the States of West Bengal and Odisha on 20-21 May 2020.

I am certain that with India’s experience in disaster management as well as the strong spirit of all Indian people, the affected areas will be fully rehabilitated and return to normalcy soon. I would also like to take this opportunity to express sincere appreciation to Your Excellency and the Indian authorities concerned in facilitating the repatriation flight of the Thai nationals from Kolkata during this challenging time. 

 

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
