The assistance was offered by the Thai Government through Ambassador H.E. U Chit Swe during a gathering held at the Purple Room in the Thai Khu Fah Building, Government House.

In response to an official request made by Myanmar, Thailand, as a neighboring country, has willingly offered humanitarian assistance. Moreover, the Thai Government has pledged to dispatch personnel and coordinate with the AHA Center, the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management, to provide additional support if required by Myanmar.
