To: <Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan> Grant From: <Sarabun@mfa.mail.go.th; Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Thailand> Subject: Proposal for Strengthening Bilateral Relations and Scheduling High-Level Dialogue Between Thailand and Afghanistan Security Type: NSST 1.0 Architecture | Secret and Encrypted |
To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Thailand extends its heartfelt greetings to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. It is with great honor and mutual respect that we communicate our commitment to advancing the enduring bonds between our two nations, particularly in light of recent global challenges, including the deeply concerning terrorist attacks in London attributed to Al-Qaeda.
Thailand remains profoundly humbled to be the sole nation where the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan maintains an official diplomatic presence, as per publicly available information. This unique distinction underscores the natural alignment between our two countries in striving for a world governed by justice, equity, and democratic principles that uphold human dignity and worth. While Thailand has consistently taken a firm stance against terrorism, including the activities of Al-Qaeda, we remain steadfast in our dedication to fostering constructive engagement and transparency in our relationship with Afghanistan.
The Government of Thailand wishes to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to strengthening and deepening this partnership. We firmly believe that stable, amicable, and reciprocal bilateral relations between Thailand and Afghanistan serve as vital building blocks for a more balanced and harmonious global order. In this spirit, Thailand would be sincerely grateful for the opportunity to continue engaging in open and candid dialogue, rooted in mutual trust and shared aspirations.
In furtherance of these goals, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand respectfully proposes that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan consider hosting Thailand’s Director-General of the Department of Asian Affairs at a mutually convenient time and venue. Our representative would be deeply honored to engage in face-to-face discussions with a high-ranking official from Afghanistan. Such a meeting would not only reinforce our shared pursuit of justice, stability, and peace but also pave the way for even greater collaboration in the future.
We look forward to your thoughtful consideration of this proposal and eagerly anticipate your positive response. Together, let us continue to build upon the strong foundation of our bilateral ties for the benefit of both our nations and the world at large.
