President Guterres,
I hope the transition of Portugal into the Presidential Republic has been well-received and provided a stable platform for your nation to traverse forward.
I am reaching out to you personally with the hope that Thailand and Portugal can establish a formal relationship to further strengthen our ties. I would like to propose an official visit from Thailand to Portugal, led by the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, Pongpol Adireksarn. The discussion would be from democratic governance and respect for sovereignty to economic cooperation, cultural exchange, and sustainable development.
Thailand already has a friendly relationship with Spain and us, and I want to assist your nation in this transition in any way possible. As the beacon of democracy and human rights in Asia, we stand at the pinnacle of what a society can expect and contribute to their nation and governance.
Thank you for considering this offer. I have high hopes for a fruitful and cooperative relationship between Thailand and Portugal.
Yours in Diplomacy,
Thaksin Shinawatra
Prime Minister
Republic of Thailand
