BANGKOK, Thailand – Earlier on 13 November, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Chinese Premier Li Qiang witnessed the signing of eight cooperation documents. The day closed with an official dinner hosted by Prime Minister Anutin in honor of Premier Li at Government House.

In his remarks, Prime Minister Anutin said that as the world faces uncertainty, Thailand and China will remain steadfast partners. The stability both countries enjoy today will benefit their people and the wider region for years to come, for a bright future for the relationship and for the prosperity of the region and the world.



Premier Li thanked the Prime Minister and the Thai people for their warm welcome and careful preparations. He noted that Thailand and China are close neighbors, with friendly exchanges between their peoples going back more than 2,000 years, and with diplomatic ties established in 1975. Through disasters such as the tsunami and earthquakes, and in the work of economic and social development, the two countries have shared joys and hardships, like passengers in the same boat, always supporting one another. Thailand and China are not distant partners but family, he said, and this deep relationship will be turned into concrete cooperation. The visit continues until 15 November. (NNT)
