Good Morning,
I am currently sitting in my office here in the beautiful Dusit District and just outside my office window lies the magnificent Chao Phraya River. The distance between the west and east banks of the river often seem so far apart. Usually traversed by talented captains of water taxis and river buses; they explained to me the importance of knowing the speed of the current the river takes as it is often affected by weather and tides. So much effort is required to connect people on either side of the river. So much so that Krung Thon Bridge was built to make the connection easier.
Just like the mighty Chao Phraya River, there is currently a gap between Socialist Republic of Thailand and Ukraine. We both share completely different styles of government. We have completely divergent histories. Our peoples subscribe to different ideologies. We are roughly 6500 kilometers apart. The distance seems vast and the differences too great. But just as those brave water taxis cross the river in a storm, I feel like our two peoples can be brought together. I do honestly believe that although we might disagree on the method, we both want what is best for our peoples. In fact, I think that we might find ourselves in agreement on a few things.
If you would allow, I would love to arrange a meeting in person at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I would hope that even if no agreements can be found, our two nations could be at the very least cordial. I will make myself available to your office at a moment's notice. I look forward to meeting you in person.
Sincerely,
Yuliia Bereza
Ukrainian Ambassador to Thailand
Republic of Ukraine
