Thai minister urges positive trade links with China
China DailyA Thai minister called for a positive perception of its trade with China, emphasizing benefits from the two partners' collaboration while urging relative sectors to strengthen laws to guarantee fair competition and safeguard consumers. "If the perception and attitude toward Chinese trade and investment are not addressed promptly, the result would significantly impact Thailand's export and tourism sectors," he said. After taking the role last month, Thailand's new Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra confirmed the plan to deepen the close bond with China on social media platform X, saying that the friendship with China is based on "mutual trust and respect, a common vision toward prosperity and progress, as well as familial ties between our two countries' peoples." Narongsak said China always supports the export of Thai products to the Chinese market through multiple channels and has invited Thai partners to participate in its major trade fairs for years.
