The historic visit to Thailand by President Xi Jinping in 2022 marked the beginning of a new era in building a community with a shared future.

China is willing to work with Thailand to consolidate political mutual trust, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, carry forward long-standing friendship, and promote multilateralism, creating a new "Golden Jubilee" for the building of the China-Thailand community with a shared future.

President of the Thai National Assembly, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, stated that over the past 50 years, Thailand and China have worked hand in hand to promote cooperation in politics, economy and trade, education, culture, and people-to-people exchanges, forging deep and enduring ties. The bond featuring "China and Thailand are as close as one family" is a testament to the profound and close relationship between the two countries. Thailand admires China's achievements under the leadership of President Xi Jinping and supports important initiatives such as China's development strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative. Thailand is willing to work with China to deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership and jointly build a more stable, prosperous, and sustainable China-Thailand community with a shared future.
