Thailand and the Chinese mainland are deepening their partnership with the official implementation of the mutual visa-exemption agreement on March 1. This new arrangement paves the way for increased tourism and business exchanges, benefiting both nations.
Chinese tourists can now explore Thailand's renowned hospitality, savor world-famous Thai cuisine, and visit top tourist attractions with greater ease. A standout feature of this growing collaboration is Thailand's high-speed rail network, a flagship project under the Belt and Road Initiative, enhancing connectivity between the two countries.
In a recent edition of Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun engaged in a conversation with Thailand's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. They delved into Thailand's soft power strengths, highlighting the nation's rich culture, vibrant sports scene, delectable gastronomy, and leisure offerings. Beyond tourism, Thailand is positioning itself as a key business and manufacturing hub in the region, attracting entrepreneurs and businesses alike.
Prime Minister Thavisin also emphasized Thailand's commitment to ensuring personal safety and tackling cross-border crime, addressing concerns that potential visitors and investors might have. He praised the leadership of Xi Jinping, noting that peace and common prosperity are top priorities, and expressed full support for global initiatives aimed at fostering collaboration and growth.
With these developments, Thailand continues to solidify its role as a pivotal player in the regional economy, offering unique advantages for both tourists and businesses, while strengthening its ties with the Chinese mainland.
