Foreign Minister Wang Yi has been visiting Thailand as part of his three-nation tour in Southeast Asia. Reaching Bangkok -- the second leg of his Southeast Asian trip, Wang Yi met Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. In a light-hearted exchange, Wang told Anutin that the Prime Minister looked younger than in pictures. This marks Wang's first visit to Thailand in two years. Ahead of the formal sit-down meeting, Anutin introduced members of his new cabinet, which took office in late March. Wang in turn introduced his delegation, making special mention of Vice Foreign Minister Hua Chunying. Chinese Foreign Minister WANG YI: "This person,very famous, vice minister, now in charge of Asia." Wang said China hopes Thailand will ramp up efforts to combat online gambling and telecom fraud, in order to foster a better environment for bilateral relations. As a mutual friend of both Thailand and Cambodia, Wang said China is willing to continue facilitating dialogue and rebuilding mutual trust between the two countries. He added that amid a complex and volatile international landscape, China is ready to strengthen cooperation with Thailand in areas such as new energy, infrastructure and agriculture, and to work toward building a more stable and prosperous China-Thailand community with a shared future. Anutin said Thailand remains firmly committed to the one-China policy and is willing to enhance alignment of development strategies and deepen cooperation across various sectors. He stressed Thailand will take action against online gambling and telecom fraud, and thanked China for its efforts in easing Thailand-Cambodia border tensions. Wang's visit to Thailand lasted about one day with a tight schedule. In addition to Bangkok, Wang also travelled to Thailand's southern city Krabi to co-chair a foreign ministers' meeting with his counterpart Sihasak Phuangketkeow, who's also Thailand's deputy prime minister. His next stop will be Naypyidaw, Myanmar.
