Our relationship with Thailand

We have a long-standing and warm relationship with Thailand. In 2021 New Zealand and Thailand marked the sixty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic representation.

The relationship is broad, encompassing bilateral political, security, and trade and economic links, a range of regional issues of common interest, and international issues such as disarmament and climate change.

New Zealand and Thailand work cooperatively on environmental issues. We’re both members of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, which brings countries together to find ways to grow more food without increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Thailand is a founding member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and hosted the Asia Pacific Economic Community (APEC) meetings in 2022.
