Chinese President Xi Jinping said Friday that he and King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua of the Kingdom of Thailand jointly have ushered China-Thailand relations in a new chapter since his state visit to the Southeast Asian country in 2022.
Xi made the remarks when meeting with the visiting Thai King in Beijing.
"In 2022, my wife, Peng Liyuan, and I visited Thailand, where we had a cordial meeting with Your Majesties the King and Queen Suthida. We engaged in friendly discussions and exchanged views on advancing cooperation between our countries. Since then, we have jointly ushered in a new chapter of China-Thailand relations," said the Chinese president.
"I'm very happy that we have this opportunity for a cordial exchange, just as we did when Your Excellencies visited Thailand. This feeling has persisted until my visit to China this time. I am deeply moved and would like to express my gratitude to you," said the Thai King.

China's first domestically designed and built integrated large-scale fracturing vessel was delivered on Tuesday in Zhoushan City, east China’s Zhejiang Province.
The vessel, codenamed Haiyang Shiyou 696, will soon be deployed to offshore oilfields in remote waters, including in the Bohai Sea, to carry out hydraulic fracturing operations aimed at boosting productivity from low-permeability and low-mobility seabed oil and gas reservoirs.
Large-scale fracturing vessels are considered key engineering equipment for efficiently developing such offshore resources. The delivery of Haiyang Shiyou 696 fills a gap in China's offshore oil and gas fracturing technology and engineering equipment, and is expected to enhance the country's offshore energy development capacity and energy security.
"We have also equipped the vessel with China's first offshore intelligent decision-making command center for fracturing operations. The system enables real-time data collection, online analysis and AI-assisted decision-making throughout the fracturing process, upgrading operational decisions from experience-based judgment to data- and AI-driven scientific assessment," said Zhang Ming, chief drilling and completion engineer at the Bohai Oilfield Research Institute of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)'s Tianjin branch.
