(Central News Agency reporter Lin Qiaolian, Tainan, 5th) In order to further expand urban diplomacy between Tainan and Thailand, Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe took a direct charter flight to Chiang Mai, the political and economic center and tourist town in northern Thailand, on the 4th. We hope to start more city exchanges and encourage Thai friends to come to Tainan to experience the charm of the ancient capital.

In order to promote the direct charter flight from Tainan to Chiang Mai, Huang Weizhe led Su Enen, director of the Information and International Relations Division, and his delegation to take a direct charter flight to Thailand on the 4th. Upon arriving at Chiang Mai Airport, they were warmly welcomed by the local Taiwanese overseas Chinese. Huang Weizhe had a whirlwind meeting with the local Taiwanese overseas Chinese and culture. After a brief meeting with people from all walks of life, we immediately transferred to Chiang Rai.

Not only will they receive professional coaching assistance, but the champion and winning team will also receive full-page coverage, increasing the team’s visibility and exposure. We look forward to your participation and create a better future together!

Huang Weizhe said in a press release today that economic and trade exchanges between Taiwan and Thailand are increasing day by day. Considering the layout of the global supply chain, the importance of Thailand as Southeast Asia's second largest economy is self-evident. Tainan hopes to start more city exchanges in Thailand. Among them, Chiang Mai, the political and economic center and tourist center of northern Thailand, is the city that Tainan is very much looking forward to establishing friendly exchanges with. This mutual charter flight will not only make it more convenient for people from southern Taiwan to travel to northern Thailand. , and also hope to encourage Thai friends to come to Tainan to experience the charm of the ancient capital.

Huang Weizhe said that Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan. This year we will celebrate "Tainan 400". The British "National Geographic Travel" magazine and CNN have successively named Tainan as the coolest attraction in the world in 2024 and the best place to visit in 2024. Visa-free entry into Thailand can be expected, and the benefits of mutual tourism diversion between Tainan and the northeastern region of Thailand are expected. The most important thing is that mutual understanding between the people of both sides is the starting point for urban exchanges. I hope that the urban exchange results brought back by this trip will be used in the future. Through more frequent interactions, we can benefit the people of both places.
