WBC News: Homage to the King of Thailand.
By Jose Sulaiman
WBC President
The 161 countries represented by the 10 Continental Federations affiliated with the World Boxing Council join the WBC in declaring the year 2006 as 'The Year of His Majesty the King of Thailand', Bhumibol Adulayade, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his coronation.
His Royal Majesty King Bhumidol Adulyade has been in love with boxing all of his life, and thus has given substantial support to this sport in Thailand.
He is also a monarch who is deeply loved by his people and someone who should be an example to all world leaders, not only for his respect to his people, but also for his concern and efforts in the benefit of boxers.
I want to convey my heartfelt and respectful congratulations to His Majesty who has given, on several occasions, relevant advice to me, always seeking safety in boxing and protection of fighters.
