Following H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s election as the Prime Minister of Malaysia, H.E. General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, sent a congratulatory message to the Prime Minister of Malaysia as follows:

 

Excellency,

 

On behalf of the Royal Thai Government and the people of the Kingdom of Thailand, I have the honour to extend my sincere congratulations to Your Excellency on being re-elected as the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia and the Pakatan Harapan on the decisive and historic outcome of the 14th General Elections.

 

Thailand and Malaysia have long shared close neighborly relations, enhanced by exchanges of high-level visits and people to people relations over the past sixty years. Relations between the two countries during your term as Prime Minister of Malaysia have grown in many areas, including the establishment of the Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation which has served as a key mechanism in steering bilateral relations until the present. I am confident that the cooperative relations between Thailand and Malaysia will continue to be promoted under your leadership.

 

The Royal Thai Government looks forward to working closely with the Government of Malaysia in further strengthening and deepening bilateral relations for the mutual benefits of  the two countries and peoples.

 

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
