As one of the members visited China for the first time 39 years ago and was a witness at the groundbreaking ceremony for the China Cultural Center in Bangkok four years ago, Dabbaransi said he saw the development of the cultural center and the friendship between the two countries. With the growing influence of the cultural center, the cultural relationship between the two sides will embrace a brighter future.

Wu Zhiwu, minister-counselor of the Chinese Embassy to Thailand, said the China Cultural Center in Bangkok held many meaningful activities in the past two years and promoted Chinese culture among the Thai people. The growth of the cultural center should be attributed to the support from the Thai government and cultural circles and the love of the Thai people for Chinese culture.

KreaNgam and Ning then attended the opening ceremony of the library and a photography exhibition that presented Chinese shadow boxing, at the culture center.

During the ceremony, students and teachers from a local art academy presented excellent performances with unique Thai flavor.
