BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, has officially welcomed the Premier of China, Li Keqiang, during his official visit to Thailand to attend the 35th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits.

 

The Chinese Premier inspected a guard of honor before witnessing the signing ceremony of three Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) in the fields of e-commerce, science and media innovation. Gen. Prayut also witnessed the signing ceremony.

 

The Prime Minister said he and his Chinese counterpart discussed various topics, including the economy, politics and security, science, technology and innovation, socio-cultural issues as well as regional and global events. Both of them agreed to promote connectivity and enhance cooperation in connection with the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025 (MPAC 2025), the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. On economic cooperation, both sides agreed to link compatible projects, including Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA). The two countries agreed that mechanisms have to be set up to drive the bilateral cooperation.

 

Gen. Prayut invited China to expand its investment in Thailand. He asked the Chinese Premier to help take care of Thai entrepreneurs in his country and look into the supply of Thai agricultural products, particularly rice and para rubber. Gen. Prayut added that the Thai government has raised the country’s tourism safety standards. The two sides agreed to work together to support the digital economy and the Smart City project in accordance with the Thailand 4.0 policy. They agreed to exchange their knowledge and experience in dealing with political and security issues as well as ultra-fine dust particles known as PM2.5. They also agreed to cooperate to combat transnational crime and promote law enforcement. The MOUs signed by the two sides reflect a higher level of strategic partnership between Thailand and China, which will bring greater prosperity to both nations. The two leaders also agreed to expedite the Thai-Chinese high-speed railway project.

 

The Chinese Premier said he and Gen. Prayut agreed that both countries have to enhance political mutual trust and create concrete cooperation in all areas, such as the rice trade, digital economy, e-commerce and high-speed rail system. He said China has the potential to further develop these areas, as the country is like a large ship that is stable and fast and can cover a long distance.

 

The Premier of China also congratulated Thailand for successfully hosting the 35th ASEAN Summit and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) meeting on Monday (Nov 4), with leaders from 15 countries having concluded their negotiations. He said the RCEP is a free trade area with a huge population and with diverse economic structures of high potential. ASEAN has remained stable and continued to develop amid the global economic slowdown he noted.

This really is great to see. Thailand have to be partners with China or they won't succeed, same as Australia or anywhere else …. China has the $$$ and Thailand can only benefit from their trade together.

Good job done by Khun Prayut Chan O Cha, as mentioned above, he's had a busy week hosting dozens of international dignitaries. 

All this welcoming, all this shaking hands & wai's are important in showing other leaders Thailand is open for business. Great for the Thai economy moving forward.

Does the army boss know the leader is meeting with a top Commie and having his photo taken? Surely all those years of fighting communism haven't been wasted.

What sort of business do you do in Thailand?  How do you know it is open for business?  You are taking a coup leader's word for it ?  Thailand is a difficult country to operate in.  China and other Asian nations are far less so.   He is asking China to look after Thai entrepreneurs, while Thailand makes foreign self starters lives less than comfortable.  The Thai entrepreneurs I have met in China do not have kind words for Thai military government  and the elites.  That is why many of them are in China.

it's more about exports and Chinese investment in infrastructure, such as JV on large scale projects where China has expertise in. It's about being seen to be partners with the biggest and powerful ….  look at Australia, they need China, Thailand needs China, and other Asian neighbors need China even if it's only for a small export market, it's still $$$ . But I agree on what you say, Thailand is a difficult country to operate in which does not help for Chinese companies wanting to set up business here.

With all this government euphoria for co-operating with China our eyes are dimmed to the Chinese economic trap sprung. Poor besotted Thailand! Go forward with China, ok, but with eyes wide open.

Did you want Trump? Be glad, Premier of China, Li Keqiang is much more important to Thailand than all the Trumps in this world!

      Did Biden Have a Body Double?

      Do I have to take seriously a geezer who reckons George Bush was chosen from "billions of people" to lead "billions of people"? Strange how a 11 month old video falls into your Youtube algorithm while you were searching for Thai Nancy Boy can can dances. Trump, is a raving shirt lifter because Poppy says so. I don't who Poppy is but she's on Youtube, and so must be important. Or as important as someone who thinks there are billions of American voters. Of course, there are an enormous number of videos alleging Trump is a shape shifting reptillian. On Youtube, 100% true. More truth on Youtube. Baron Trump is a time traveling Russian https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-President-1900-Ingersoll-Lockwood/dp/1945934255

      Is it true the BGs are 50s?

      Apps are efficient and more appealing to the younger workers. The women are having fun when the meter is running. The stories are old, the johns are recycled and it's the same M.O. day in, day out. You can't really believ that the bar workers are into the customers. They are customers to be milked for as much money as possible. They love them long time only as long as the money flows. Barboys and bargirls are not likely to gain income from drinks. In Hua Hin, drink revenue usually goes to the pimp/barowner. It is not as if the bars have issued POS devices to the staff to allow for tracking of orders. As it is, most of the bars still rely on writing paper receipts for the drinks. The receipts do not show who gets the credit for the order. Staff might be able to keep some tips, but usually, when the tip is put into the payment book, the tip money is sometimes kept by the bar manager and sometimes distributed to the workers. The only way a bar worker keeps a tip is when they are discreetly paid by the customer.

      Dating 22-Year-Old Thai Bubble Tea Girl - She Just Asked for 30K/Month – Am I Being Played?

      5555 If your girl is an 11 out of 20, mine is a 20. Want to put it to the test? It's just weird that you are bringing up dead celebrities, as if it means anything at all. Being a celebrity doesn't automatically make you a good partner. What is wrong with you? Do you actually believe the nonsense you are posting? Women stay close to me because of something other than money. It's clearly something about which you have no clue, other you wouldn't keep posting that utter claptrap. It's obvious that even with money, you are not enough for these girls. Seems that you are just a flash in the pan. I've noticed that your posts often reference cheating, even when you were writing about Russia and Ukraine. Writing about Ukraine opening it's legs and some such. So your women are cheating on you. Even though you are paying and imagining it's your girlfriend. I can guarantee that you have trust issues and that you are the type to want to check your girl's phone. That's not a relationship. That's a father keeping tabs on his daughter. If you don't have implicit trust, you have nothing. Like Joni sang; Loving without trusting is like frostbite and sunstroke. You don't have love. You don't have trust. You have a salaried friend. I asked a friend to take care of a 3000 baht bill for me, as I didn't have my credentials handy. Done, without question. Would your friend do that for you? Your relationships have no depth. You are just trying to pay for exclusivity. If you love somebody, set them free.
