New Year Message from H.E. Ambassador Han Zhiqiang
2023-01-01 08:03

As the New Year begins, everything takes on a new look. At an occasion of bidding farewell to the past and ushering in the new, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, I would like to extend New Year greetings to the people of Thailand and friends from all walks of life who has shown their care and support for the development of China-Thailand relations!

The year 2022 marks a milestone in China's development. The 20th National Congress of the CPC was successfully held, which scientifically laid out goals, tasks and major policies for developing the cause of the Party and the country in the next five years or even longer period to come. The Chinese people are embarking on a new journey in high spirits to build a modern socialist country in all respects and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization.

The year 2022 also marks a milestone in the history of China-Thailand relations. President Xi Jinping attended the 29th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and paid a visit to Thailand, met with King Maha Vajiralongkorn, held talks with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, and released a joint statement on working towards a China-Thailand community with a shared future for enhanced stability, prosperity and sustainability, adding dimensions of the era to the bond of “China and Thailand as one family", and opening up brighter prospects for China-Thailand relations. Over the past year, China and Thailand have stood together to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our economic and trade cooperation has risen against the trend. People to people and cultural exchanges have resumed development. Friendship between our two peoples has been further elevated. The coordination and communication of China and Thailand in international and regional affairs are even closer.

In a complex and volatile world filled with challenges, the continued development of China-Thailand relations is in the fundamental interests of our two peoples and will inject strong positive energy into the peace and development of the region and beyond. Hand in hand, let work in unison to open up a new chapter of China-Thailand relations.

Wish you all happiness, good health and a wonderful new year!
