Esteemed Minister Aya Tanaka,
I hope the recent tragedy in Japan won’t diminish your high strength and spirit to serve your nation in this trying time.
Allow me to speak on the behalf of the Republic of Thailand Government and the people of Thailand, I wish to express my deepest condolences to the people of Japan in the recent incident during the New Year Celebration, as we wish to express our condolences to the people of Japan. Thailand and Japan have a sturdy foundation for democratic values and commitment to human rights and dignity. In this grim time, we believe that it is a testament to our resilience and devotion to humanity.
The Thai Government has acknowledged the statement from the Foreign Ministry of Japan regarding their needs for medical personnel assistance and resources. Our administration has conducted a thorough examination of the situation, and we are advising you that we have finalized the decision to send 6,000 medical personnel from our army and another 1,500 Humanitarian volunteers from other branches. We are requesting the authorization to send them to Japanese soil.
The immense amount of this tragedy is nothing but a concern and a declaration of war against humanity. I will be eager to wait for your reply, as the Japanese people's lives are on a threadbare basis.
Yours in Diplomacy,
Sukhumbhand Paribatra
Deputy Foreign Minister
Republic of Thailand
