Bangkok: The Thai Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Enterprise Association in Thailand, is preparing to hold the Thailand-China Cooperation Expo 2025 from September 26-28, 2025, at Impact Muang Thong Thani. The event, themed “50 Years of Thai-Chinese Relations: Towards Shared Prosperity,” will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The event is also recruiting over 3,000 positions.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Poj Aramwattananon, Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, stated that the 50th Anniversary of Thai-Chinese Relations is not a trade fair, but rather an event where Thai entrepreneurs will learn about China’s contributions to Thailand. He added that China currently invests heavily in Thailand, but there is still a labor shortage. Furthermore, the event will also serve as an avenue for further education in China.
Mr. Narongsak Putthaprommongkol, Chairman of the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, also stated that the event will serve as a bridge connecting Chinese businesspeople investing in Thailand. A Job Fair Zone will also be organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and leading Thai-Chinese companies, offering over 3,000 positions in high-demand fields such as engineering, digital, logistics, and modern services to address the changing global labor market. An Education Fair Zone will also be available, offering educational opportunities and skills development, with over 400 scholarships from leading universities in both countries available to develop a new generation of talented individuals meeting the demands of future industries.
The Thailand-China Cooperation Expo 2025 not only celebrates this historic milestone in Thai-Chinese relations, but also serves as a strategic platform that will deliver tangible benefits to Thailand. In the short term, the event will significantly stimulate economic activity through business negotiations, investment, and the promotion of related service industries. In the long term, it will enhance Thailand’s role in the global supply chain, particularly in future industries such as electric vehicles, clean energy, and digital technology. This will solidify and sustain Thailand’s position as a strategic partner of China and the global economy. The three-day event was packed with international activities reflecting comprehensive Thai-Chinese cooperation, including trade, investment, human resource development, and innovative knowledge exchange. A key highlight was the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between leading Thai and Chinese companies, valued at over 6 billion baht, covering bot
h product sales and joint ventures. This significant step in establishing new business networks and expanding investment between the two countries was also highlighted.
The event also featured a Supply Chain Forum and a Business Matching platform, designed to provide a platform for entrepreneurs to connect and negotiate businesses, particularly in areas core to the modern economy, such as new energy vehicles (NEVs), renewable energy, digital platforms, and agricultural and food innovation. This initiative aims to encourage Thailand and China to jointly build sustainable and competitive supply chains, aligning with future green and digital economy goals and workforce development. In addition to business and educational activities, the event also featured specialized seminars and high-level forums, inviting experts, academics, and corporate leaders from both Thailand and China to share their experiences, exchange knowledge, and strategic perspectives on the challenges of the modern global economy. A Gala Dinner was also held to reflect the strong ties and friendship that have endured for over five decades, reinforcing the image of a deep-rooted strategic partnership at all lev
