Thaksin sat calmly in his modest office at Government House, anticipation buzzing in the air. In a few hours, he would leave for Hanoi to meet with the President of Vietnam. But for now, something more immediate held his attention. Pedro da Gama, the Progressive Party’s candidate in Portugal, had just won the presidency. It was another sign of the growing global left-wing movement, regardless of whether these nations embraced socialism fully or not.
Thaksin reached for the phone and dialed the Portuguese presidential office. Thai diplomats had already informed the new administration of his intention to call. After a brief hold, the line connected, and Thaksin’s voice came through, warm and enthusiastic.
“President Gama, congratulations on your victory! What a fight—it was something to behold. We’ve been watching the Portuguese election closely, and I have to say, we’re thrilled to see you leading a country that’s such an important partner to Thailand.
“My administration is committed to strengthening our relationship, no matter who’s in office, but I’ll be honest—when we heard you’d won, it was a clear sign that business between our nations will continue to flourish. I also want to mention that the Foreign Ministry is looking forward to your government reviewing our proposed cultural and educational exchanges treaty. We submitted it near the end of the previous administration, so it might need some digging.
“But for now, I just want to say again—congratulations. Your people have spoken through a fair and transparent process, and this peaceful transition is something to be proud of. Best of luck, Mr. President. Goodbye!”
Thaksin ended the call with a satisfied smile.
