Speaking at the opening of the Singapore Education Fair 2025 in Bangkok last week, Quek Shei Ting, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Republic of Singapore to Thailand, highlighted the importance of education as a cornerstone of bilateral relations.

"Thailand and Singapore have shared a long history of friendship and collaboration, and education has always been one of the strongest areas of our cooperation," she said.

Over the past 60 years, the countries have engaged in a wide range of initiatives, including school twinning programmes, the Singapore-Thailand Enhanced Partnership (Step) Camp, and cultural exchanges.
