Your Royal Highness,

I have learnt with deepest sorrow of the passing of Thailand’s dear friend, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain. On behalf of the Royal Thai Government and people of the Kingdom of Thailand, I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to Your Royal Highness, members of the Royal Family, and the Government and people of the Kingdom of Bahrain for this irreparable loss.

For over five decades of his premiership, His Royal Highness had selflessly dedicated his life and work to the development of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the well-being of the Bahraini people. As a true statesman, His Royal Highness’s leadership and wisdom guided Bahrain towards progress and prosperity, and contributed immensely to peace and stability in the region and the wider world.

For the Kingdom of Thailand, His Royal Highness holds a special place in our hearts. It was His Royal Highness’s benevolence and generosity for Thailand that engendered our extraordinary friendship, which has grown through decades of close cooperation and greatly benefitted our peoples. To honour the fond memories of His Royal Highness, I am determined to continue cherishing and nurturing our one-of-a-kind relationship, which promises to yield much mutual benefit, and deepen our warm friendship for many years to come.

Finally, the Royal Thai Government and people of the Kingdom of Thailand mourn with the Government and people of the Kingdom of Bahrain during this time of bereavement. May the merciful amd Almighty Allah bestow an eternal and peaceful rest to His Royal Highness’s soul.

Accept, Your Royal Highness, the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.

General                      (Ret.)
        (Prayut Chan-o-cha)
Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand


His Royal Highness
Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa,
Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander and Prime Minister
of the Kingdom of Bahrain,
MANAMA.
