Excellency,

 

It is with deep shock and sorrow that I have learnt of the terrible explosions that occurred in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka on 21 April 2019. On behalf of the Royal Thai Government and people of the Kingdom of Thailand, I extend to Your Excellency and the people of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy for this dreadful event. My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families of the victims during this difficult time and I wish a speedy recovery for those injured. 

In this moment of bereavement, the Royal Thai Government stands in solidarity with the Government of Sri Lanka and her people and joins the international community in strongly condemning this hideous act of violence against innocent people. 

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

 

General Prayut Chan-o-cha (Ret.) 

Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand
