Myanmar and Thai air force leaders engage in bilateral discussions
The Royal Thai Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal Punpakdee Pattanakul, recently embarked on a visit to Naypyidaw, Myanmar, marking a significant step in the ongoing cooperation between the two nations.
The visit, which took place on September 17, was at the invitation of Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Htun Aung. The meeting was held in the context of Myanmar and Thailand serving as host countries for a meeting between the air force chiefs of both nations in September 2021.
During the meeting, both sides discussed ongoing cooperation and future collaboration. The discussions were fruitful, and both parties expressed their commitment to strengthening the bond between the two air forces.
As a symbol of this bond, General Htun Aung presented a Buddha image, relics, and a replica of the Mahawijaya Buddha statue to Air Chief Marshal Punpakdee Pattanakul. These items are intended for enshrinement at the Phra Mahathat Naphamethinidon Naphabhumisiri Pagoda, currently under construction in Chiang Mai by the Royal Thai Air Force.
The visit concluded with a luncheon hosted in honor of the visiting Thai delegation. Souvenirs were exchanged, and a group photo was taken after the Thai Air Force Chief offered a Buddha image as a gift.
General Htun Aung formally received the Thai delegation at the Jasmine Hotel in Naypyidaw, setting the stage for a productive and meaningful exchange between the two nations' air forces. This visit is a testament to the strong relationship between Myanmar and Thailand and the ongoing efforts to strengthen this bond through cooperation and mutual respect.
