According to a Xinhua report, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi exchanged these ideas here with Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Don Pramudwinai.

The head of China’s diplomacy urged deepening cooperation in various fields and speeding up the construction of the China- Thailand railroad and the China-Laos-Thailand railway connecting lines.

Similarly, the two sides mentioned joint efforts against transnational criminal activities, including telecommunications fraud.

Wang Yi reiterated Beijing’s position in favor of the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) community and its support for that group’s economic growth.

“China is ready to work with Asean countries to speed up consultations on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, strive for the early formation of effective and substantive regional rules, and turn the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation,” he said.
