BANGKOK Dec 22 – People’s Republic of China Vice President Xi Jinping on Thursday arrived Thailand on a three-day official visit to the kingdom as guest of the Royal Thai Government.
Mr Xi Jinping was greeted by Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra at Government House and held bilateral talks there, followed by a dinner hosted by the Thai premier.
The discussion covered a wide range of topics from Sino-Thai cooperation, regional, and international cooperation and other issues of mutual interest to both parties.
The two leaders witnessed the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) on the development of high speed train between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, development of a railway system connecting ASEAN member countries, and a complete water management and cooperation to lay out flood and drought prevention measures.
The vice president is the highest level representative of the Chinese Government to visit Thailand after the formation of the new Thai government. He is expected to visit rehabilitation centres and shelters in the aftermath of the kingdom's severe flooding and will visit the Confucius Institute at Chulalongkorn University.
China's state media Xinhua reported Thursday that the vice president is also scheduled to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the heads of the Privy Council and National Assembly of Thailand during his stay Thursday through Saturday.
Mr Xi Jinping was quoted by Xinhua as saying in his statement that China and Thailand are good neighbours, partners, friends and relatives who enjoy a longstanding friendship and that his visit to Bangkok is aimed at consolidating bilateral good-neighbourliness, enhancing strategic mutual trust and advancing pragmatic cooperation.
The Chinese vice president had just completed an official visit to Vietnam before coming to Thailand, the last stop of his ongoing Asia tour. (MCOT online news)
