To the Foreign Ministry of Korea,
Thailand wishes to express its gratitude for congratulating the Republic of Korea for escaping from the unknown monarch that claimed the sovereignty of the Korean people early this year. We were shocked to receive the intelligence that there was a coronation ceremony in Korea in which we couldn't trace the monarch's ancestors during our investigation. We are relieved knowing that the Korean people still hold their republic determination at their heart belief. It is saddening that the last communication between our previous prime minister and Korea's premier was a negative response, where we stood on the opposite side. Despite our oscillate relationship in the past, Thailand hopes that we can continue the cordial partnership, where we treat one another with honesty. We want to see more regulation cooperation between our countries on Labor registration. We have 160,000 Thai nationals working in Korea, and 140,000 are "Little Ghost" or illegal immigrant workers from our country. It is reasonable to understand that in 1995, the Korean minimum wage was almost seven times more than our country. We wish to order the trading vessel for oversea commerce in the future, and we will have a form to purchase it in the future. Thailand and Vietnam still wish to have Korea in the ASEAN Plus, which Korea has significantly supported our meeting. We hope it is possible that Korea is still interested in it.
Sincerely
Rommanee Kananurak
Thai Ambassador to Korea
