Message 

from His Excellency General Prayut Chan-o-cha (Ret.), 

Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, 

to Her Excellency Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,

 State Counsellor of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, 

on the Occasion of the 70th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations 

between Thailand and Myanmar

(24 August 2018)

                               

As this year marks the auspicious occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, I have the honour to extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes to Your Excellency and, through you, to the people of Myanmar. 

 

For the past seventy years, the unique relationship between Thailand and Myanmar has been defined by an overriding commitment to good neighbourliness, understanding and shared objectives, as well as the longstanding friendship between our peoples. This foundation of cooperation and goodwill towards each other has allowed our countries to overcome various challenges and move forward together as “Natural Strategic Partners”, with deep-rooted connections in all areas and a firm commitment to an even stronger partnership that will be beneficial for our peoples and indeed, the region.

 

To mark this milestone, I have further the honour to reassure Your Excellency of the Royal Thai Government’s commitment to working closely with the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to promote development, progress, and prosperity for our two countries, as well as for ASEAN and the region. Furthermore, I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the people of Myanmar, for entrusting in and promoting a most cordial and constructive relationship with the Kingdom of Thailand.
