To the Esteemed Foreign Ministries of Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America,
On behalf of the Republic Thai Government and its people, it is with a heavy heart that I address the recent tragic incident that has taken place in the heart of our capital, Bangkok. The catastrophic explosions that impacted the British, Polish, and American embassies are not only an attack on sovereign territories but also a grievous affront to the enduring ties of friendship and cooperation that Thailand shares with your esteemed nations.
I wish to convey our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims of this tragic event, both from your countries and ours. Their loss is immeasurable, and the Thai nation mourns with you. We stand together in this time of adversity, unified by our shared values and aspirations for a peaceful, cooperative world.
We appreciate the restraint and understanding shown by your governments in the aftermath of this incident. While emotions run high, it is essential that we continue to strengthen our bond, support each other, and jointly tackle the roots of such heinous acts to prevent them in the future.
The Thai government is fully committed to a swift, transparent, and comprehensive investigation into this incident. We assure you that no stone will be left unturned, and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. We request your continued cooperation, understanding, and patience during these challenging times.
Furthermore, we acknowledge and deeply respect the trust and responsibility vested upon us to ensure the safety and security of foreign diplomatic missions within our borders. Rest assured; immediate measures are being put in place to fortify the security of all diplomatic entities in Thailand. We pledge to uphold this sacred responsibility with unwavering dedication.
It is my hope that from this dark chapter, our nations will emerge stronger, more resilient, and even more united in our commitment to peace, security, and international cooperation.
With the utmost respect and in the spirit of enduring friendship,
Mr. Sukhumbhand Paribatra
Deputy Foreign Minister
Republic Thai Government
