這位發言人說巴育對胡說他想讓泰國成為區域IT中心，這樣主要的技術公司就可以在這裡分享想法，經驗和進行合作。The executive told Gen Prayut that Huawei is ready to work with the Thai government and the private sector to help shape IT development plans covering basic structure, management and information storage.

週二早些時候，巴育訪問了中國的一處鐵路控制中心並查看了操作過程。During the visit, Gen Prayut asked questions about the technical side of train control and management, including passenger services and goods transportation. He also asked Chinese rail officials about the possibility of developing existing trains to run at mid-speeds of 160kph. They assured him that the speed of trains can be increased without any detrimental effects on an established system.
在訪問期間，他詢問了鐵路控制和管理方面的技術性問題，包括旅客服務和貨物運輸。他還詢問中國鐵路官員有關於將現有列車速度提升到160公里每小時的可能性。而他們回答說列車的速度絕對可以提高，而且不會對現有的系統造成任何不利影響The premier and Thai delegates later took a bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin, a distance of 120km, in 30 minutes.
隨後，總理及泰國代表團乘坐子彈頭列車從北京到天津，總共120公里，花了30分鐘。Despite political changes, ties between the countries remain close. In bilateral talks on Monday, Gen Prayut and his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang vowed to cement their friendship further when the countries mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year.
儘管政治上發生了變化，但是兩國間的關係依舊緊密。在週一的雙邊會談中，巴育將軍和中國總理李克強承諾將進一步增強兩國關係，明年將是兩國建交40週年紀念日。
