Royal Thai Army Chief General (GEN) Anupong Paojinda called on Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean at the Ministry of Defence on 31 Jan.

GEN Anupong's visit underscores Singapore's excellent defence relations with Thailand. The armed forces of both countries interact regularly through a broad spectrum of exercises, professional exchanges and courses.

These interactions have forged camaraderie and mutual understanding between the personnel of both armed forces.

GEN Anupong, who is in Singapore for an introductory visit from 30 to 31 Jan, also called on Chief of Army Major-General (MG) Neo Kian Hong and visited the SAF Centre for Military Experimentation.
