With the death of the King of Thailand, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world has lost an outstanding Monarch and Head of State whose significance reached far beyond Asia. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has significantly determined Thailand’s destiny for more than 70 years and has been working tirelessly for peace and for the prosperity of the Thai people. During His Majesty´s long reign, His Majesty has continuously modernized the Kingdom of Thailand with a special focus on sustainable development and turned it into one of the leading countries in South East Asia.
On behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German people Ambassador Peter Prügel sends his heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the Kingdom of Thailand. Germany and the Kingdom of Thailand have enjoyed a longstanding friendship for over 154 years. We are therefore joining the people of the Kingdom of Thailand with deep sympathy in mourning the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
