SOUNDBITE 1 (Thai): KORN DABBARANSI, President of the Thai-Chinese Friendship Association, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand
"China has shown the world its achievements in poverty alleviation. The country with 1.4 billion people has achieved the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Take a look at how China made it. China's achievements in this regard provide a role model. If other countries want to achieve poverty eradication, they can learn from China's experience."

Korn also spoke about the need to conduct collaboration under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.

SOUNDBITE 2 (Thai): KORN DABBARANSI, President of the Thai-Chinese Friendship Association, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) should not be carried out by China alone. Other countries should also take action. This will be modernization for everyone, allowing the whole world to share peace. That's the essence of the Belt and Road Initiative, a global initiative. We in the ten ASEAN countries look forward to engaging in communication and trade based on peace. But no matter what we aim to achieve together, the priority is to secure peace. Only through global peace can we collectively achieve prosperity and progress."
