Thai Fair in China to Tighten Economic Ties

A senior Thai economic official called Thursday in Fuzhou for long-term economic and trade cooperation between China and Thailand.

This will serve to promote the friendship between the peoples of the two countries, said Banphot Hongthong, director for export promotion, at the 2001 Thai Commodities Fair being held in Fuzhou, capital of east China's Fujian Province.
