KARACHI, Dec 05 (APP): The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Karachi hosted a dignified reception to commemorate the birthday anniversary of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, Father’s Day, and Thailand’s National Day.
The ceremony, attended by prominent dignitaries, celebrated the legacy of Thailand’s most revered monarch while highlighting the strengthening ties between Thailand and Pakistan.
The event was graced by Governor Sindh Kamran Khan Tessori, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and other prominent personalities.
The Consul General paid heartfelt tribute to the late King Bhumibol, recalling his tireless efforts to uplift remote and underdeveloped communities across Thailand. He also expressed deep sorrow over the recent passing of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, who died peacefully on 24 October at the age of 93.
Reflecting on historic relations, the Consul General recalled the 1962 visit of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit to Pakistan upon the invitation of President Ayub Khan—an important milestone in diplomatic ties.
Highlighting growing economic cooperation, he noted that Thailand and Pakistan’s private sectors are expanding partnership in multiple fields.
He emphasized that Thailand’s strengths in agro-business, food production, and tourism position Pakistan as an increasingly important partner, noting that both nations share a mutual love for food, culture, and travel. Pakistanis frequently travel to Bangkok and Pattaya, while Thai tourists are increasingly drawn to the scenic valleys of Skardu, Gilgit, and Hunza.
