On behalf of the Thai government, caretaker Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha presented humanitarian aid to Myanmar Ambassador U Chit Swe for the victims of Cyclone Mocha in Sittwe, Myanmar. Among those present at the ceremony were Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai and Anucha Burapachaisri, the acting government spokesman.
General Prayut conveyed his sympathy and support for the people of Myanmar in the name of both the government and Thai citizens. He expressed hope for their speedy recovery during this challenging period. The Thai government has also sent representatives to the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management to assist with the efforts.
Thanking the Thai government and the people for their help, Ambassador U Chit Swe acknowledged that Cyclone Mocha had a wide-ranging impact on the lives and property of many. Even though the cyclone was considerably more violent than the Cyclone Nargis that hit in 2008, lessons learned from that disaster helped to limit the damage.
The Ambassador also highlighted the ongoing restoration work in the 18 townships hit hardest by the cyclone. Military units and local government are collaborating to bring back normalcy to those devastated areas.
Although no specific details were disclosed regarding the nature of the Thai assistance provided, it signifies the importance of solidarity and cooperative action during times of crisis. Mutual support among neighboring nations allows for faster recovery and better preparation for future disasters.
The aftermath of Cyclone Mocha may have caused widespread destruction, but it also serves as a reminder of the tremendous resilience of the human spirit. With determination, courage, and the joint efforts of local communities and international aid, we can rebuild and heal the scars left by such catastrophic events.
