In a recent interview, former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand and Chairman of the Thailand China Cultural Promotion Committee, Phinni, stated that development is a core priority for all countries. China has proposed a global development initiative and called for development to be placed at the center of the international agenda. This will help promote cooperation among countries and encourage them to jointly explore the path to peace, happiness, and prosperity. Focusing on development is an important means to solve current problems, which can help solve regional and even global problems. "Pini said that if countries can achieve healthy development and people enjoy a happy and healthy life, it will greatly reduce the possibility of differences and confrontations between regions. In June 2022, China held a high-level dialogue on global development, proposing to jointly create a development pattern of inclusive balance, coordination and inclusiveness, win-win cooperation, and common prosperity, and announcing a series of practical measures to implement global development initiatives. According to the "Progress Report on the Implementation of Global Development Initiatives" prepared by the China International Development Knowledge Center, as of now, half of the 32 practical measures in the "List of Results of the Global Development High Level Dialogue" released in June 2022 have been implemented or achieved early results. Puni stated that in the current context of an unprecedentedly complex international environment, it is of great significance for China to call on the international community to "refocus" on global development. He said that Thailand's participation in the "Group of Friends of Global Development Initiatives" fully demonstrates its confidence in China's cooperation with other countries towards cooperative development. Penny said that China has made great achievements in its economic development, vigorously helped and supported the development of Underdevelopment, and has always been committed to promoting the international community to share peace and prosperity. In addition to the creation of initiatives such as the "Global Development and South South Cooperation Fund", China has also implemented a large number of foreign aid and cooperation projects, which are generally welcomed by the international community. He stated that the Asia Pacific region has a wide coverage area and a large population base, and there are problems of uneven development and poverty within the region. Countries urgently need to strengthen cooperation and seek common development to help the region recover strong economic momentum. Pini particularly appreciates China's people-centered development philosophy. He said that only by putting people first and continuously improving the quality of life of the people can there be opportunities to solve substantive problems. China has become Thailand's largest trading partner for many consecutive years, with a bilateral trade volume of 135 billion US dollars last year. In 2022, China is also the largest source of foreign direct investment in Thailand. (New News Agency)
