“Excellency,

       On behalf of the Government and the people of Thailand, I have the honour to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations on your appointment as Prime Minister of Japan.

       Thailand and Japan have enjoyed very close and cordial ties for centuries.  Our strong relationship has proven to be one of the most significant and unwavering partnership that has continuously contributed to our mutual prosperity and well-being of our peoples.

       Under your able leadership, I believe that our governments will continue to work closely to promote sustainable development and jointly address issues of common concerns, in particular climate change, environmental protection and development of alternative energy.

       Moreover, I am confident that with your firm determination, Japan will continue to play an essential role in strengthening ASEAN integration and community building in this region, including promoting the development of Mekong Sub-region.  I also trust that our long-standing cooperation in various regional and international fora will be further enhanced for our mutual benefits. 

       Finally, I very much look forward to meeting with Your Excellency at the earliest opportunity to exchange views on matters of our common interests.

       Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

(Abhisit Vejjajiva)                      
Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand”
