Thailand's national TV said on Thursday that they would rebroadcast the Chinese TV series, the "Romance of Three Kingdoms," first screened in 1994, to celebrate the 44th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Thailand and China.

The National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) made the announcement during an event at the China Cultural Center in Bangkok on Thursday.

The classic Chinese TV series was translated and dubbed in Thai language some 25 years ago by a team from the MVTV channel.

NBT said they would broadcast MVTV's Thai version of the Chinese TV series from 20:30 to 21:30 on weekdays, starting from July 1, which marks the 44th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The event also included a seminar on the Three Kingdoms attended by officials from both countries, Thai experts on Chinese history, dub actors and representatives from NBT and MVTV.

Sansern Kaewkamnerd, director-general of the Public Relations Department which manages NBT, told Xinhua that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been popular in Thailand for many years.

The Thai audience could enjoy the TV series and learn more Chinese history from it, which might contribute to more cultural exchanges between Thailand and China, Sansern added.

NBT, MVTV and the China Cultural Center also signed an MoU to promote their cooperation during the event.

The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four great classical Chinese novels.
