At 6:45 p.m. on November 13, 2026, at the Santimaitri Building (outer building) of Government House, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul hosted an official dinner in honor of H.E. Li Qiang, Premier of the People's Republic of China. Anutin stated that at a time when the world faces uncertainty, Thailand and China will maintain unwavering stability, and that today's stability benefits the citizens of both nations and brings long-term positive effects to the region, for a bright future of Thai-Chinese relations as well as for the freedom and prosperity of the region and the world. For his part, Premier Li Qiang expressed delight at visiting Thailand, saying he was deeply moved by Anutin's warm, friendly remarks. He thanked the Prime Minister and the Thai people for their warm welcome and meticulous arrangements. Li noted that China and Thailand have been close neighbors for over 2,000 years, with friendly exchanges between their peoples. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1975, ties have continued unbroken. Now, at a critical time for addressing global crises — tsunamis, earthquakes, and driving economic and social development — Thailand and China share weal and woe like passengers on the same ship, supporting each other continuously. The way the two countries treat each other reflects that they are not strangers but siblings, and they will turn this profound relationship into concrete cooperation.
