On the occasion the prime minister also welcomed the joint communique by Mr Blinken and Thai Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai on strategic alliance and partnership between Thailand and the US. The prime minister viewed that the joint statement would support the efforts of both countries to achieve their common strategic goals, the spokesman said. (TNA)
