Bangkok, July 9 — A promotional event for the 9th China International Import
Expo (CIIE) and the 'Export China' Thailand session took place in Bangkok.
MOFCOM vice minister Yan Dong, Chinese ambassador Zhang Jianwei and Thai
Department of Trade Promotion director Sunanta attended; more than 200 Chinese
and Thai business representatives participated. Yan said China has been
Thailand's largest trading partner for 13 consecutive years and that Thailand
remains an important ASEAN trade partner; Thai tropical fruit and seafood are
selling well in China. He said 2026, the start year of China’s 15th Five-Year
Plan, will see CIIE coordinate with 'Export China' activities to step up import
expansion. Thailand is a 2026 'Export China' theme country and Thai firms are
invited to participate in the 9th CIIE to deepen bilateral trade cooperation.
