BANGKOK Nike Air Max 97 Heren Kopen , June 2 (Xinhua) -- Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak on Thursday asked Thais to have more confidence in the Thai government and Thai economy, instead of focusing only on a promised general election yet to come.
Attending the launch ceremony of Huawei's Openlab Bangkok, Somkid said the current Thai government has done well in keeping Thai economy stable.
"Our GDP growth is 0.8 percent three years ago and now it is 3.3 percent," he said.
The government is determined to reform and modernize the kingdom, adding that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Nike Air Max 97 Dames Kopen , former army chief, came out three years ago just to reform the country in different areas, Somkid said.
He took the World Competitiveness Ranking released recently by Switzerland-based International Institute for Management Development as reference to support his remarks since Thailand's overall ranking went up from 28 to 27.
Thailand also showed progress in economic performance, government efficiency and infrastructure according to the ranking, Somkid said Nike Air Max 97 Zilver Kopen , adding "the foreign institute gave us a clear answer while some people just keep saying Thai economy is awful."
He also pointed out that Thailand will show better performance in the future, as the cabinet just approved the Pink and Yellow metro line of Bangkok, will approve a double-track railway in three months, and will extend internet service to all villages around the country in 2017.
"We will do our best and help the poor, we have to do it together Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Kopen , but not just get excited when hearing the word election, we should consider the benefits of our country" Somkid emphasized.
According to the National Institute of Development Administration poll conducted in mid May, the top reason that some Thais are unsatisfied with the current junta is their inability to solve economic problems.
According to the World Bank, the Thai economy, the second largest in Southeast Asia now Nike Air Max 97 Wit Kopen , will expand 3.3 percent a year on average from 2017 to 2019, which is slow when compared with its rapidly growing neighboring countries.
BEIJING, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will pay an official visit to the United States from Tuesday to Thursday, at the invitation of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Monday.
"We hope that China and the U.S. will arrange high-level exchanges and dialogues for 2016 Nike Air Max 97 Zwart Kopen , discuss practical cooperation and the handling of sensitive issues to promote the sustainable, healthy and stable growth of bilateral relations through the visit," Hua said at a regular news briefing.
Responding to looming UN sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for missile launches, Hua said "China and the U.S. are expected to exchange views on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue during Wang's visit," adding that the two sides have been in communication over the issue recently.
The UN Security Council is discussing sanctions against the DPRK over its recent nuclear test and satellite launch using ballistic missile technology.
China supports the UN Security Council adopting a new and strong resolution against the DPRK while urging relevant parties to avoid actions that could escalate tensions Nike Air Max 97 Summit White Kopen , Hua said.
She renewed the call for dialogue and promoting the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and a truce-to-peace mechanism in parallel.
When asked about the message that China will send to the U.S. on the South China Sea issue, Hua said the U.S. should honor its commitment of taking no position on competing territorial claims and stop playing up the issue or creating tension.
Hua pointed out that the U.S. is not a party involved in the South China Sea dispute and the South China Sea issue is not, and should not become, a problem between China and the U.S..
She called on the U.S. to play a constructive role on the issue as maintaining peace and stability on the sea serves the common interest of China and U.S. as well as all parties concerned.
Hua criticised the U.S. for stirring hype over the "militarization" of the South China Sea. "The U.S. side is misusing the concept. The deployment of defense facilities on China's own territory is no different from what U.S. does in Hawaii."
The U.S., which has sent military vessels and planes to areas in the South China Sea to conduct close-in reconnaissance Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Kopen , is the source of tension and militarization of the South China Sea, Hua said.
China's construction on its own islands in the South China Sea is for civilian purposes and providing better international public goods. The deployment of limited defence measures is granted by international law to sovereign states, and has nothing to do with "militarization", according to Hua.
