BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Thursday stressed that Thailand places great importance on visitor safety.
In an interview during her ongoing official visit to China, the Thai leader noted that she had personally held multiple discussions with police and law enforcement agencies to ensure the security of Chinese tourists.
About 6.7 million Chinese tourists visited Thailand in 2024, reflecting a steady upward trend, she added.
To combat online gambling and telecom fraud, Thailand has cut electricity in certain areas along the Thai-Myanmar border.
The Thai government will evaluate the effectiveness of the measure in a week, Paetongtarn said.
She affirmed Thailand's commitment to working closely with China to establish effective mechanisms and take decisive actions in addressing this issue.■
