The government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, mother of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkom.

Following Queen Sirikit's passing, President Lai Ching-te and Premier Cho Jung-tai conveyed the sympathies of the government and people of Taiwan in messages transmitted via the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand. Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Baushuan Ger visited the Thailand Trade and Economic Office (TTEO) in Taipei on the morning of October 29 to pay respects and offer condolences.

Queen Sirikit dedicated her entire life to the Kingdom of Thailand. She was highly respected and loved by the Thai people, and her benevolence and virtue were renowned throughout the international community. From June 5 to 8, 1963, Queen Sirikit accompanied His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on a visit to Taiwan, advancing the two nations' friendship and cooperative ties in a range of areas. Taiwan has made significant contributions to promoting agricultural development in northern Thailand through collaboration with Thailand under the Royal Project Foundation, which was founded by King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit.

The people of Taiwan and Thailand enjoy frequent interactions and close exchanges. Moving forward, Taiwan will continue to deepen Taiwan-Thailand relations through integrated diplomacy.
