Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Mr. Li Qiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, held a bilateral meeting on 13 November 2026 to step up cooperation in promoting high-quality investment in future industries and expanding Thai agricultural markets in China.

The meeting was held on the occasion of the Chinese Premier’s official visit to Thailand on 13-15 November. Prime Minister Anutin emphasized Thailand's readiness to welcome investment from China, utilizing domestic raw materials and parts, transferring technology, and developing Thai workforce skills under the co-creation concept. Thailand places importance on fostering a transparent and fair business environment, as well as cracking down on illegal business operations and the use of Thai nominees, to build investor confidence and promote fair competition.

Regarding market access for Thai products and agricultural cooperation, the Prime Minister pushed for expanding opportunities for Thai goods to enter the Chinese market, particularly agricultural products, processed foods, and innovative products. 

He also sought China's support in expediting the registration of Thai Geographical Indication (GI) products and increasing distribution channels for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through Chinese e-commerce platforms under favorable terms. 

Additionally, he followed up on the progress of the 500,000-ton Thai rice purchase agreement, of which the first lot of 40,000 tons has already been sold, to enhance trade opportunities and generate income for Thai farmers and entrepreneurs.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister witnessed the signing of eight documents for Thai-Chinses cooperation in many areas, including security, phytosanitary requirements for the export of fresh durian from Thailand to China, automotive technology, food safety, vocational education, and consular affairs.
