President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. congratulated Srettha Thavisin on his appointment as the 30th Prime Minister of Thailand on Monday.
In a social media post, the President said he looks forward to meeting the new premier to boost bilateral relations between the Philippines and Thailand.
“I convey my warm congratulations and best wishes to @Thavisin on your election as the 30th Prime Minister of Thailand. I look forward to working with you in strengthening Philippines-Thailand relations, which celebrates its milestone 75th anniversary next year,” the Chief Executive said in a tweet.
