Li Qiang Meets with King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand

On November 14, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council met with King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand in Bangkok. Li Qiang conveyed President Xi Jinping's warm greetings to King Vajiralongkorn. Li Qiang said that last year, His Majesty the King paid a state visit to China, during which President Xi Jinping held a meeting with His Majesty the King and reached important common understandings on advancing the building of a China-Thailand community with a shared future. China appreciates the Thai royal family's long-standing commitment to promoting China-Thailand friendship. "China and Thailand are as close as one family." This is a unique strength of China-Thailand relations, which is reflected in the practical outcomes of cooperation in various fields between the two countries. In particular, against the current turbulent international landscape, the growth of China-Thailand economic and trade cooperation against the odds is all the more valuable. China is ready to work with Thailand to follow the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, continue to maintain close exchanges, expand cooperation in such areas as investment, scientific and technological innovation and new energy vehicles, and deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges to boost the economic and social development of both countries and improve the well-being of the two peoples.
