To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year, CGTN and other Chinese reporters embarked on a fact-finding journey to discover and highlight the cultural communication between China and foreign countries.
One of the stops along that journey was Thailand. Located to the south of China, Thailand has enjoyed a good relationship with the country from as early as 1975.
Pinit Jarusombat, chairman of the Thai-Chinese Promotion Committee and former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, said spoke highly of the relationship between the two countries and wished China a happy 70th anniversary.
"This year is a meaningful and valuable year," he said. "I wish that China will continue to be strong and prosperous."
