On 22 May 2026, Mrs. Arunee Hiam, Deputy Director-General of Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), welcomed a delegation from the Royal Civil Service Commission (RCSC) of the Kingdom of Bhutan during their visit to Thailand for a study visit on public administration development.

The Bhutanese side expressed appreciation to TICA for its continued support in human resource development, and exchanged views on ways to further enhance the effectiveness of cooperation, particularly in the management of scholarship programmes and scholarship recipients.

The RCSC delegation, led by Dasho Babu Ram Sherpa and Dasho Kinlay Tshering, Commissioners, visited Thailand to study Thailand’s performance management system and the Agency’s Excellence Award. The visit aimed to support the application of these experiences to the development of Bhutan’s civil service system, as well as to strengthen networks with relevant Thai agencies, including the Office of the Civil Service Commission, the Bureau of the Budget, the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Interior, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the Digital Government Development Agency, the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA), and Chulalongkorn University.
