Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Thailand’s Maris Sangiampongsa just charted a bold roadmap for bilateral cooperation this week, emphasizing shared goals in diplomacy, tech, and regional stability. 🌏🤝
Why it matters: Wang called China-Thailand relations a 'high priority,' with plans to accelerate the long-awaited China-Thailand Railway – a game-changer for Southeast Asian infrastructure. Meanwhile, 🐼 giant panda conservation projects continue to charm as soft diplomacy tools.
BRICS Gets a New Player?
Thailand aims to join the BRICS alliance as a partner country, backed by China. 'This isn’t just about economics,' Maris said, framing it as a win for Global South solidarity. 💼🌍 Both countries also pledged to combat cross-border fraud and boost the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0.
Wang highlighted China’s modernization as a catalyst for Thailand’s growth, while Maris pitched BRICS membership as a bridge between emerging economies and ASEAN markets. Talk about geo-political synergy!
