Srettha Thavisin to bolster Thai-Chinese tourism, bilateral ties in China visit

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is slated for a diplomatic visit to China from Oct 8-10 to negotiate on 10 pivotal issues, among which strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing Thai-Chinese tourism cooperation take precedence.

 

The announcement came yesterday during his visit to Chiang Mai, where he also hinted at the renewal of the Thai-Chinese memorandum of understanding on the loaning of Chinese ambassador pandas to Thailand, set to expire in the coming months.

 

Government spokesman Chai Wacharonke informed that Thai-Chinese tourism cooperation will be a significant point of discussion during the visit. The government’s stance on maintaining equilibrium between Thailand’s relations with the US and China was clarified by Chai, stating that both are esteemed as major trade partners.


Srettha’s forthcoming attendance at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) in New York City will present an opportunity to meet US President Joe Biden, US trade representatives and significant US companies. It is anticipated that this will provide an avenue for the Prime Minister to encourage US investors to invest more in Thailand, with plans for discussions with major tech firms.

China is Thailands go-to problem solver.

Going to China to pay "tribute" to the Chinese overlords?

Why not? With respect, Thailand wants tourism and investment from China, like other Asian countries. Srettha is not going to back down due to the moans of a few foreign ex-pats (like here on AN). Do not get me wrong, I also dislike the Chinese and here in Siem Reap I do not involve myself with them or their businesses, an amicable situation. I support the Khmer people. What the Royal Cambodian Government decides is no concern of mine.
