Thai friendship in our hearts

With no end in sight to Thailand's political turmoil, it is natural for some people to worry that China's traditionally sound ties with the country may suffer. However, such concern is groundless, says a Xinhua News Agency commentary.

Hoping to see a peaceful and prosperous Thailand once again back on its feet, China has been consistently urging all parties in Thailand to exercise restraint and start dialogue and consultations so as to restore national order at the earliest date.

Friendly ties between the two countries will surely weather this crisis as they have already endured the nearly 20 military coups in Thailand since it established the constitutional monarchy in 1932.
