China's high-quality development to benefit Thailand

China's high-quality development philosophy featuring innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development would help Thailand to escape from the middle-income trap and achieve shared goal of joint development, said Thai scholars.

"As Chinese President Xi Jinping said, high-quality development can meet people's ever-growing desire for a better life. Such desire is also shared by Thai people," said Arm Tungnirun, director of the Chinese Studies Center under the Institute of Asian Studies at Chulalongkorn University.

At a forum with the theme "Building a Thailand-China Community with a Shared Future" on Wednesday, Arm noted that China's high-quality development philosophy will strengthen its friendship with Thailand with such a shared goal.
