In a message to Maha Vajiralongkorn, the King of Thailand, on Friday, Pezeshkian congratulated the monarch, the royal family, and the people of Thailand on the occasion of their National Day.
He highlighted that while the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Thailand are celebrating the 70th anniversary of their diplomatic relations, the historical and cultural ties between the two nations extend back over 400 years.
“The presence of Iranians as distinguished advisors in the Ayutthaya Kingdom laid the foundation for mutual trust and respect between our nations, leaving behind a cultural legacy that continues to inspire friendly cooperation today. I am confident that this historical path will continue to promote the welfare of both nations and strengthen international and regional peace and stability,” the president added.
In a separate message to the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, Pezeshkian reiterated that Iran-Thailand relations are rooted in their longstanding 400-year history and are celebrating the 70th anniversary of their diplomatic ties this year.
“I hope that, given the historical background of the two nations and the existing capacities, we will witness the further development and strengthening of cooperation in all areas of mutual interest,” he added.
