BANGKOK, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) — As the major economic powerhouse in Asia, China’s optimized COVID-19 strategy would foster its cooperation and exchanges with Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, creating fresh economic opportunities in the region, said Pinij Jarusombat, Thailand’s former deputy prime minister.

“As a Thai, I am very happy to hear the news,” said Pinij when commenting on China’s optimization of the COVID-19 response and the resumption of cross-border travel.

“Many of us have waited for so long to visit our friends in China and looking forward to taking the China-Laos Railway all the way to China,” he told Xinhua in a recent interview.

“The Thai government and business sectors are getting ready to welcome Chinese tourists. It is also more convenient now for investors from both countries to communicate. Many Thai companies are eager to meet their Chinese counterparts to promote cooperation,” he said.
