Letter from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to Prime Minister of Thailand Srettha Thavisin

23 August 2023

Dear Prime Minister Srettha,

On behalf of the Government of Singapore, I extend my warmest congratulations on your appointment as the 30th Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand. I am confident that Thailand will continue to grow and prosper under your leadership.

Singapore and Thailand enjoy warm and multi-faceted relations, underpinned by robust economic ties, close institutional links, and regular political and people-to-people exchanges at all levels. Our longstanding and deep cooperation spans many sectors, including trade and investment, defence, and education. Singapore and Thailand are also strong partners in multilateral fora, including in ASEAN. I am certain that the friendship between our two countries will continue to strengthen in the years ahead.

I look forward to working closely with you to further broaden and deepen our bilateral relations, and to meet you soon. I would like to extend an invitation for you and Khun Pakpilai to visit Singapore at the earliest opportunity.

I wish you every success and good health as you begin your new term.

Yours sincerely,

LEE HSIEN LOONG

His Excellency Srettha Thavisin

Prime Minister

Kingdom of Thailand
