On behalf of The Old Japan Student’s Association, Kingdom of Thailand (OJSAT), (Under the Patronage of His Majesty the King). I would like to express my sincere congratulations on the Japan Foundation Awards' 50th anniversary.

I have had the pleasure of being involved with the Japan Foundation for many years, and I have seen the impact that your organization has had on the promotion of Japanese culture and language in Thailand. Your programs have helped to educate and inspire millions of people, and have made Japanese one of the most widely studied languages in Thailand.

I am particularly grateful for the Japan Foundation's support of OJSAT and truly honored to be one of the recipients of Japan Foundation Special Prizes awarded in 2002. Your funding has enabled us to organize cultural events, provide Japanese language classes, and offer scholarships to students who want to study in Japan. These programs have helped to create a vibrant Japanese community, and have given students the opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture and language within Thailand.

I am confident that the Japan Foundation will continue to make a positive impact on the world in the years to come. I wish you all the best on your 50th anniversary, and I look forward to seeing what else you achieve as you move forward.
