In March 2002, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra became the first Thai head-of-government to visit Mexico. In 2003, Mexican President Vicente Fox paid a visit to Thailand. On 23 May 2014, Mexico condemned the Thai coup d'état and asked for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Each year, since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the governments of both nations offer scholarships to citizens of each nation to study in Mexico/Thailand for graduate and/or diplomatic training. In 2015, both nations celebrated their 40th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations.
