Currently, Yunnan Province is speeding up its connectivity with neighboring countries to better serve the national Belt and Road Initiative. Liu Huiyan hopes that the two sides could strengthen exchanges among teenagers and deepen cooperation in trade, tourism, and agriculture.

Liu also invited the Thai guests to attend the 4th China-South Asia Expo to be held in Kunming in June this year.

In response to Liu, Governor Boonsong Techamanisatit said Chiang Rai will enhance exchanges among teenagers from the two sides, and increase cooperation with Yunnan in terms of trade, logistics, tourism, agriculture and build-up of industrial parks.
