Thailand to set up consulate office in east China

Thailand will set up a consulate office in Xiamen, a coastal city in east China's Fujian Province, according to Thailand's consulate general in south China's Guangdong on June 8.

The office will be launched within days and will be upgraded to a formal consulate in a year, according to diplomatic sources, who declined to be named.

The office will make it easier for Fujian residents to apply for a Thai visa and will facilitate trade ties between Xiamen and Thailand.
