Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is set to visit Thailand on September 2 for a leaders' retreat with Thai Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, underscoring the strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.
The retreat represents the first such high-level engagement between Mr Wong and Mr Charnvirakul since their respective tenures in their current positions. The meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss matters of mutual interest and regional significance.
Thailand and Singapore maintain robust diplomatic and economic relationships, with regular high-level exchanges serving as a cornerstone of their bilateral cooperation. The leaders' retreat format typically allows for in-depth discussions on strategic issues in a more intimate setting than formal state visits.
The visit underscores Singapore's continued commitment to strengthening ties with its ASEAN neighbours and fostering regional stability and cooperation across South and Southeast Asia.
