Nov. 13, Bangkok — China's Li met Thai Prime Minister Anutin. China offered to deepen strategic alignment and accelerate high-quality Belt and Road projects, citing the China–Thailand railway and pressing talks on a new five-year economic and trade cooperation plan. Beijing sought early mutual protection of geographical indications, signaled willingness to import more Thai goods and to encourage Chinese firms to invest in Thailand, and propose expanded cooperation in finance, new energy, semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The two sides also agreed to step up cooperation on disaster risk reduction, water management, tourism and law enforcement and to coordinate in multilateral forums including China–ASEAN, Lancang–Mekong, the UN, WTO and APEC.
