Thailand and Israel have reinforced their longstanding partnership at the sixth Thailand–Israel Development Dialogue, co-chaired by the Director-General of the Thailand International Cooperation Agency and senior Israeli counterparts.

The meeting brought together officials from both governments to review progress on bilateral development projects and outline future areas of collaboration.

Discussions focused on innovation-driven sectors, including smart agriculture, water resource management, public health and digital technology—fields in which both nations have developed recognised expertise.
