PM Anutin welcomes Singapore’s Lee Hsien Loong on royal condolence visit
Prime Minister Anutin hosted Singapore’s former leader Lee Hsien Loong, who paid tribute to the late Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother at the Grand Palace.
At the Thai Khu Fa Building in Government House on Monday, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul hosted a tea reception for Lee Hsien Loong, former Prime Minister of Singapore, on the occasion of his visit to Thailand to pay respects to the late Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother.
Following the meeting, Mr Lee travelled to the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall in the Grand Palace, where he laid a wreath before the royal urn of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother to express his deep condolences and honour her memory.
He then proceeded to the West Wing of the Royal Household Bureau Building 904, where he signed the book of condolence before the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, representing Singapore’s heartfelt sympathy and longstanding friendship with Thailand.
Throughout his tenure as Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong maintained close and cordial relations with Thailand, demonstrating deep respect for the Thai monarchy and the royal family.
Notably, in 2016, he was the first ASEAN leader to travel to Bangkok to lay a wreath in tribute to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, following the late King’s passing.
