Singapore and Thailand share excellent and multi-faceted bilateral ties. We also cooperate closely at regional and international fora. Strong economic links and robust defence ties are key pillars of the relationship. We also have extensive technical cooperation, including under the Singapore Cooperation Programme and the Singapore-Thailand Third Country Training Programme, where both countries jointly provide technical assistance to other developing countries in the region.
Our close bilateral relations are also reflected in the extensive cooperation among agencies. The Singapore-Thailand Enhanced Economic Relationship, launched in 2002, provides the framework for long-term strategic partnership in economic cooperation. The Civil Service Exchange Programme (CSEP), launched in 1998 is a key bilateral platform to build insitutional linkages between the two civil services, and oversees cooperation in the areas of education, environment, ICT, science and technology, legal and judical, manpower, transport, as well as arts and culture.
