Message by H. E. Mr. Kasit Piromya Ambassador of Thailand to Japan

 

With the beginning of the New Year, I am delighted to extend my best wishes for the coming year to the members and supporters of International Social Service Japan.

Since 1990, ISSJ has been providing useful service to the Royal Thai Embassy as well as many Japanese and Thai families. Thai regulations require that any foreigner desiring to adopt a Thai child must submit an application through an agency authorized by that person's government to process the application. Authorized by the Japanese Government, ISSJ has fulfilled a crucial role in coordinating with the Embassy and the Child Adoption Center of the Department of Public Welfare in Thailand to assist Japanese families in the adoption of Thai children. Furthermore, ISSJ has also provided counseling services to numerous Japanese-Thai families. Our relationship has thus been mutually beneficial, bringing joy and happiness over the past decade to more than 100 Thai and Japanese families.

The Royal Thai Embassy highly values its excellent cooperative relationship with ISSJ. We look forward to further cooperative efforts with ISSJ in the years to come towards assistance in child and family welfare for the Thai community in Japan, Japanese-Thai families and Japanese families looking towards the adoption of children from Thailand.
