Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn said that December 5 every year is not only Thailand’s National Day, but also the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the Father's Day in Thailand.

On this occasion, Thailand people together with international friends hold a ceremony to commemorate the late venerable King. His legacy is always in the hearts of Thailand people.

Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn stressed that despite the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, the friendship between Thailand and Vietnam has flourished.

“I am extremely happy to see that we are still together here, on a nice day in Hanoi, while there are many of our colleagues elsewhere having to hold the ceremony in a new normal situation. I admire the Vietnamese Government for its drastic, responsible, and effective measures in COVID-19 fight”, Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn said.
