Direct-Generals, Thank you for taking your time and reading this communication in regards to the Singaporean issue. With the rise in Public Unrest and the death of the Indian foreign national during the protests in Singapore, my government has decided to issue a travel advisory and are working to assist Polish, and other foreign nationals, citizens to leave the nation. We currently have a task force headed to the Riau Archipelago to assist in these evacuations. It is my hope that we can count on the Thai Embassy and the staff there to assist our forces in evacuating any personnel who find themselves unable to leave the country by their own means, be this due to financial or health constraints. I have opened diplomatic communication with the Singaporean Ministry of Foreign Affairs to allow Polish helicopters to land at Changi Airport to assist in the evacuation. As our closest ally to Singapore, it is our greatest wish to have your support in this endeavor and allow us to bring foreign nationals to Thailand our two governments will work together to assist in bringing these foreign nationals home. |
Sincerely, Asia Dudek Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Kingdom of Poland |
