On 29 May 2026, Mrs. Sirilak Niyom, Deputy Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Mikael Lindvall, Head of the Directorate for Global Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, co-chaired the inaugural Thailand - Sweden Joint Cooperation Committee Meeting. In attendance were representatives of agencies from both countries, such as the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Thai Air Force, the Royal Thai Police, the National Cyber Security Agency, the Ministry of Justice of Sweden, and Business Sweden.

Both sides discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation in areas indicated in the Thailand - Sweden Strategic Partnership, such as defence, cybersecurity, combatting online scams and transnational crime. They reviewed bilateral cooperation in key areas such as innovation, startups, sustainable forestry, and green energy. They also discussed avenues to expand trade and investment, including the timely conclusion of Thailand - EU FTA negotiations, Sweden’s support for Thailand’s accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the waiver of visas for Thai ordinary passport holders entering the Schengen area. Both sides exchanged views on multilateral cooperation, challenges in the current geopolitical landscape, and global and regional issues.

Thailand and Sweden officially elevated bilateral relations to a strategic partnership in August 2025. The Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) was established to follow up and support cooperation under the strategic partnership.
