Over the past 10 years since the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative, remarkable achievements have been made with deepened cooperation between Thailand and China in all fields, including trade, energy, infrastructure, education and innovation.

"Peace must come before prosperity, which is very important, not only to China but also the whole world. China strongly supports and has also been practicing the peaceful development principle," said Korn Dabbaransi, who once served as Thailand's deputy prime minister and is now president of the Thai-Chinese Friendship Association.

As a foreign politician who has visited China numerous times since the 1970s, Korn said the China-Thailand relationship is not simply just a long-term friendship, but it is instead a brotherhood because people from the two countries are "from the same family".
