Thaksin Shinawatra, Thai Prime Minister and his delegation Thursday left for China for a two-day visit to meet regional leaders and to attend an economic forum in order to develop the economic cooperation with Asian countries, the Thai News Agency reported.

Government spokesman Yongyudh Tiyapairat was quoted as saying that during the two-day visit, Thaksin would meet Chinese, Japanese and South Korean leaders to discuss bilateral and regional economic issues.

The Thai leader would also attend the general assembly of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA), which is an international nongovernmental organization (NGO) formed by leading business persons, academics, and celebrities from Asian countries as a platform for discussions on regional economic issues, similar to the World Economic Forum, which was formed in Europe, he stated.

Thaksin would also give a keynote speech at the BFA forum held in Hainan Island, with its main point to be focused on his proposal on the establishment of the so-called Asian Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) aiming to forge close ties and cooperation among Asian countries in trade, investment and all other areas, Yongyudhsaid.

At the same time, Director-General of the Department of Business Economics Boontipa Simasakul revealed that Thai and Chinese senior officials would also discuss trade cooperation issues during the Thai premier's trip.
