Opening Remarks
“Counsellor Team. So I understand that you’re here on an arts and cultural studies trip. " "I saw your
itinerary briefly — I think you visited Jim Thompson, and you also went to the new museum yesterday?
" "I hope you guys have had a good stay in Bangkok so far.
" "Today’s presentation is really just to broadly cover the scope of the work that we do here at the
embassy " "to advance the bilateral relationship between Singapore and Thailand.”
Role of the Embassy
“The Singapore Embassy is essentially an outpost for Singapore and the Singapore government. " "We
have officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representatives from the Prime Minister’s Office, "
"Enterprise Singapore, EDB, and other agencies.
" "There are two key aspects to our work. The first is serving Singaporeans who live in or visit Thailand,
" "including providing consular and notarial services. " "The second is keeping colleagues in Singapore
informed of developments in Thailand while representing Singapore at events here.”
Thailand Overview
“Thailand was officially called Siam. It is a country that has never been brought under European
colonial domination. " "The current Head of State is King Rama X, Maha Vajiralongkorn, who has
reigned since 2016.”
Singapore–Thailand Cooperation
“In 2021, Singapore and Thailand established the world’s first real-time payment systems linkage. "
"Singapore banking apps can scan PromptPay QR codes directly in Thailand.
" "We are also exploring cooperation in carbon credits, food security, rice cooperation, " "and cross-
border renewable energy.”
ASEAN
“ASEAN was founded in Bangkok in 1967 at the height of the Cold War. " "The five founding members
were Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore.
" "With Timor-Leste being admitted as a member last year, ASEAN now has eleven members.”
Crisis Management
“During the earthquake, many Singaporeans were evacuated from hotels and condominiums. " "The
embassy coordinated with Thai authorities and provided updates through social media and e-
registration systems.
" "We always encourage Singaporeans travelling overseas to e-register with MFA.”
