Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 190th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, the first treaty between the United States and Thailand. In fact, the historic agreement is distinguished as the first treaty between the United States and any Asian country. Since its establishment, the relationship and cooperation between our two nations has thrived, providing benefits to both of our economies and national security. That is why earlier this month I introduced the bipartisan resolution reaffirming our gratitude for our partnership and our continued commitment to building our friendship. As we celebrate the anniversary of the historic treaty of 1833, let us also reaffirm our efforts to strengthen our strategic partnerships, promote democracy, and secure our interests in Asia and around the world. ____________________”
