Today, on June 12 the Russian Federation celebrates its National Day – Day of Russia. On this auspicious occasion I would like to convey my most heartfelt congratulations to all Russian citizens and compatriots living and working in Thailand.
This year is a special one. It marks the 125th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and Thailand, established during the Royal Visit of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) to the Russian Empire in 1897. A number of commemorative events will be held both here in Bangkok and in Moscow to celebrate this anniversary.
