President,
It is with a heavy heart and somber mind that I reach out to you today. Upon hearing about the heartbreaking devastating accident regarding the Portuguese Royal Family, I could not resist myself to share a shattered spirit. The Royal Family has been a stabilizing institution in Portuguese, and I could not imagine how tough it is for the Portuguese people to go through a time like this.
I have been informed that, under the constitution of Portugal, your nation is in a period of heartrending transition into a Presidential Republic. Thailand itself, a beacon of democracy and human rights in Asia, is so too a Republic nation. As the head of state of the Republic of Thailand, I fully support this transition of Portugal into a Presidential Republic, and I hope I can provide any necessary assistance to your nation. Our nation has also recently gone through a period of identity crisis after the inception of the Thai Republic. We understand your situation of how it feels to travel in the labyrinthine paths without the Royal Family to guide us forward.
From this moment, all Thai flags across our nation and the world will be half-staffed. The Thai Government, as the representative of a free population, will salute for the good and the remembrance of the late Portuguese Royal Family.
May they rest in peace,
Thaksin Shinawatra
Prime Minister
Thailand
