190th Anniversary of Thailand-U.S. Diplomatic Relations
As this year marks the 190th anniversary of Thailand and the United States diplomatic relations, we recognize two centuries of special trust and collaboration built through the 1833 Treaty of Amity and Commerce. It shows how strong and united Thai-American communities here have been, especially as a part of the Asian American community across generations in the U.S. Even each has unique histories, values, languages and other characteristics, we all have deep connection and mutual aspiration to signify our diverse and lively traditions to be well represented and embraced.
