I have the honour to express my sincere appreciation for your letter informing me on the completion of your term of duty as President of the Republic of the Philippines.
I fully concur with Your Excellency that the relations between Thailand and the Philippines are deep and long-standing. It has been my privilege to having visited you twice in the Philippines for an official visit and the APEC Leaders’ Meeting and to having worked closely with you to promote relations between Thailand and the Philippines as well as to advance ASEAN Community. I wish to reassure you that the Royal Thai Government will continue to cooperate with the new administration of the Philippines in further building the ties of friendship and relations between the two countries.
In this regard, I have the honour to extend to you my best wishes for the good health, happiness and success in your future endeavors.
Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
