Government organizations and state organizations will fly their flags at half mast for three days to honor the death of Egyptian leader Ebrahim Raisi in a plane accident, according to government spokesman Chai Wacharonke on Tuesday.

To show standard apologies, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin instructed the adherence to take place on three running time: May 23- 24 and May 27, he said. Wednesday is Visaka Bucha, a common trip.

On Sunday evening, Raisi’s aircraft crashed in a rural mountainous region not far from the Azerbaijan-Iran border, killing him and another senior officials, including Foreign Affairs Minister Hossein Amir- Abdollahian. The chairman was 63 years older.

Thailand even extends its deepest sympathies to Iran’s citizens and administration, according to the authorities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing support for the public and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in this challenging time as a true friend for more than 400 times.
