Wen hails progress on landmark visit

China is "sincerely happy" to see Thailand's achievements, in spite of the flooding disaster of 2011 and the financial crisis, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday.

He made his comments as he visited the once chaos-torn country during the first official visit of a Chinese premier in more than a decade.

Wen said China will support and cooperate with Thailand in accordance with the five-year plan of economic cooperation. The two countries will forge cooperation on infrastructure development, agriculture, investment and Mekong development schemes, he said.
