China, Thailand to Build Commercial Centers
The Chamber of Commerce of Xishuangbanna, a well-known tourist resort in southwest China's Yunnan Province, and the Chamber of Commerce of Chiang Mai of Thailand each will build a commercial center to sell each other's native products.
According to the agreement signed at the ongoing 4th Xishuangbanna Border-Trade Fair, Xishuangbanna plans to construct a Southeast Asian Merchandise City to exhibit special products from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and other nations in the area.
A Chinese Merchandise City, featuring goods made in China as well as some southeast Asian nations, is scheduled to be established in Chiang Mai.
The ten-day trade fair, which closes October 28, is a key achievement resulting from the Lancang-Mekong River sub-regional economic cooperation campaign, aiming to push forward comprehensive cooperation among nations in the region in communications, energy, telecommunications, environment, tourism, human resources, trade development and investment sectors.
The 4,661-km Lancang-Mekong River, dubbed the "Danube of the East", runs through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The 2,160-km section in China is known as the Lancang River, which traverses southwest China's Yunnan Province for more than 1,000 km. Enditem
