Transitional President,

I am writting this correspondence to convey the Republic of Thailand's earnest expectations regarding the rejuvenation of the Dominican Republic's democratic institutions. It is with optimism that we anticipate the cessation of the former president's prolonged tenure, which has been marked by a reign of tyranny over eighteen years. Nonetheless, as the leader of the transitional government, I must urge you to judiciously wield your authority in a manner that steers the Dominican Republic back to the path of democracy. The international community, along with Thailand, closely observes the conduct of your transitional administration, firmly believing in the sovereign right of the Dominican people to determine their nation's destiny.

As the Prime Minister of the Republic of Thailand, I wish to express my earnest anticipation for the continued fortification of the Thai-Dominican bilateral relationship following the recent electoral proceedings in your country on April 1st, 2004. Adhering to the principle of non-interference, Thailand respects the sovereignty of the Dominican Republic during this period of transition. We will observe the developments within the Dominican Republic with cautious optimism and look forward to fostering a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship.

Please be assured of Thailand's support for the Dominican Republic in its endeavors to rebuild and advance towards a more democratic governance. Should there be any opportunity for collaboration or any matter on which you wish to engage directly, do not hesitate to reach out to me personally.

Yours in Diplomacy,

Thaksin Shinawatra
Prime Minister
Republic of Thailand

From: Transitional President of the Dominican Republic, General Bautista de La Cruz

Dear Prime Minister Shinawatra,

It is a pleasure to receive your correspondence on behalf of the Thai peoples.

We understand that our recent political situation is a concern to your government. I can assure you it is our priority and full intention to hold fair and free democratic elections in April. The recent de-facto dictatorship we have been subjected to fuelled my hopes that the country will one day return to the people; so with that, I can concur that the future of our country should be in the hands of our peoples.
Our mission during this interim government is to construct an effective governmental infrastructure and civil service to enable the successor government to operate successfully immediately upon the succession into office.
In the spirit of fairness and transparency, I would like to invite representatives from your government to observe the upcoming election and ensure all principles of a free and fair election are upheld. I hope this can ease any concerns you may have regarding our political situation and emphasise our commitment to direct change for the better.

We greatly appreciate your offer for support in this political upheaval we are experiencing, and I will certainly consider it moving forward over the next couple of months.


Sincerely,

Bautista de La Cruz
Transitional President
Dominican Republic

Dear Secretary Leekpai,

I appreciated your government's understanding and openness to our political situation.

I am glad that you have accepted our invitation to observe the election and will await for your arrangements closer to the election. We are currently in the process of establishing a permanent Electoral Commission to oversee and enforce modern democratic standards. We expect the dialog between your observers and ourselves to be via the Electoral Commission regarding this matter moving forward.

We understand that our correspondence and relations set the tone of Thai-Dominican for the upcoming democratic government. Therefore, we look forward to establishing closer relations and working with your government.

Transitional President,

The Government of the Republic of Thailand is pleased to announce our participation as observers in the 2004 Dominican General Election to the Transitional Government of the Dominican Republic. We are delighted to inform your government that the Office of the Election Committee of Thailand will be contributing 930 public servants experienced in international laws and democratic election procedures to our observation efforts. Thailand has a strong track record in observing successful elections across the globe, as evidenced by our recent participation in the French general election. We assure the Dominican Government of our commitment to ensuring transparency and integrity in the electoral process.

Thailand is committed to providing comprehensive logistical support for our observers in the Dominican Republic, both during their stay and travel. Through collaboration with Thai Airways, we have secured three Airbus A340-500 aircraft to transport all 930 Thai participants on the international flight from Bangkok to Paris and subsequently to Santo Domingo. The estimated arrival time is eight o'clock in the morning on the second of April 2004. We would appreciate it if the Dominican Government could offer additional training for the Thai observers regarding the nuances of the Dominican election process. By working together, we aim to ensure the democratic integrity of this election.

The Thai Government extends its gratitude to the Dominican Transitional Government for extending an invitation to observe the long-awaited general election in the Dominican Republic. We firmly believe in the empowerment of the people, as demonstrated in Thailand, and we are pleased to learn that your government shares our vision for a just, free, and democratic world.

Sincerely,

Chuan Leekpai
Secretary of the Thai Government
Office of the Prime Minister
Republic of Thailand
