PM Wong visiting Thailand today
November 28, 2024
|The Straits Times
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will visit Bangkok on Nov 28 at the invitation of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
During his visit, PM Wong, who is also Finance Minister, will have a royal audience with Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida. He will also meet Ms Paetongtarn, who will host him and his delegation to an official lunch, said the Prime Minister's Office in a statement.
PM Wong's trip to Bangkok is part of his introductory visits to South-east Asian capitals since becoming prime minister in May. In the region, he has so far visited Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Laos.
Diplomatic relations between Singapore and Thailand were established in 1965, which means both countries will commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2025.
The two neighbours collaborate in many areas, including fintech, digital economy and energy.
In 2021, Singapore's PayNow and Thailand's PromptPay launched the world's first linkage of real-time payment systems. Customers of participating banks in Singapore and Thailand can transfer money across the two countries using just a mobile number.
