sectors on an official visit to China in April 2012. During the visit,
several important documents involving relations between the two
countries had been signed. Among them are the Agreement on Educational
Cooperation, the second five-year Joint Action Plan on Thailand-China
Strategic Cooperation for 2012-2016, the Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) on Agricultural Trade Cooperation, and a five-year development

amounted to 64.7 billion US dollars in 2011. Both countries are seeking
ways to achieve the bilateral trade target of 100 billion dollars by
2015. Chinese tourists visiting Thailand in 2012 are likely to reach two
million, against 1.7 million recorded in 2011. Bangkok, Pattaya, and
Kanchanaburi have been listed as popular tourist destinations among
Chinese visitors to Thailand.
