Excellency,

I was deeply saddened to learn of the casualties and extensive destruction in many areas of central Japan as a result of the massive earthquake that struck the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture on 1 January 2024.

On behalf of the Royal Thai Government and the people of Thailand, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to you and, through you, to the people of Japan, the bereaved families, and all those affected by this natural disaster. Thailand stands in solidarity with Japan during this difficult time.

I am confident that under your leadership and guidance, the Government of Japan will be able to bring a swift recovery and normalcy to the affected areas soonest.

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

Srettha Thavisin
Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand
