The Commander-In-Chief ROYAL THAI ARMY

M e s s a g e

I am honored to join the eighteenth ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet with the opportunity to visit a very beautiful country of the Philippines.

The year’s event offers the opportunity for all ASEAN Armies to collectively contribute to the activities with pride and honor, which will further strengthen the close and continuous cooperation among our Armies. Moreover, This event provides the posibility for men and women in all participating teams to develop their marksmanship skills as well as to display their professionalism.

The Royal Thai Army perceives the ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet as a major event that brings all ASEAN Armies together to participate and integrate officially and socially, not only for the shooting teams, but also for the staff and high ranking officers. Concurrently, each nation’s culture will be widely shared, recognized and enjoyed through this exercise.

I especially appreciate the great effort by the Philippine Army in hosting this event. I would also like to extend my best wishes to all ASEAN Armies and their participants in this memorable experience.
